Hello
Just put together this system
p3-866eb
asus cusl2-c
256mb micron cas 3
IBM 30g 7200rpm hd
sony 48x cdrom
from reading here I know that you all dont like the (eb) or the (cas 3) and right now I'm not to interested in overclocking it but down the road if I do what can I expect this chip to do ? Also am I mistaken when I say that the only way to overclock this system is by way of fsb?
 
I've got a similar setup, but with a 800EB on a CUSL2.

If I had the choice again, I'd buy an E chip (with 100FSB), because it gives you more legroom for overclocking.

I have clocked my 800/133 to 990/165, but because the PCI bus is running so fast it is not stable. My 800/133 does 900/150 without problems.
