I am new to overclocking and do not want to burn up my processor the first go 'round. I am buying a

KT7A-RAID motherboard
900MHZ Thunderbird
256MB PC133 Micron SDRAM
Voodoo 3 2000
and a chrome orb

because of the chrome orb I wanted to know, how high can I go with this config?
 
Forget the chrome orb. If you want to know how far you can go, you only will know if you buy an Fop38, AlphaPEP66 or one Swiftech...
 
Probably not too high with the chrome orb - if your case cooling isn't great (or it's non-existent) you may have difficulty even getting below 50C with that. I wouldn't be happy overclocking with temps above 45-50C. Assuming better cooling though (if you do upgrade) that cpu'd do at least a gig, possibly even 1100 or more if you get really lucky (how bout Azz's 950 at 1350!).
