Strategy

The Pentium II 350 MHz was the first 100-Hz front-side-bus-compatible processor in the Deschutes processor family. Featuring a 3.5× multiplier, the P3 350 is a good candidate for front-side bus overclocking up to 124 MHz, resulting in a core operating speed of 434 MHz. While cooling remains an important concern, the P2 350 offers an improved maximum thermal rating of 75° Celsius.

Remember, take care with system motherboards featuring the popular Intel BX chipset, as this controller lacks support for the highly desirable ½ AGP bus divider. Systems featuring PCI video cards should be fine, though systems with AGP graphics accelerators may suffer instability at front-side bus rates exceeding 112 MHz. The majority of Intel-compatible chipsets from ALI, SIS, and VIA do not have this limitation, as they support the ½ AGP divider at extended bus frequencies.
