Strategy

The Pentium III 600 brought an end to the 100-MHz front-side-bus-compatible Katmai series of processors. The final model in this series, the Katmai 600, lacks overclocking potential beyond the 112-MHz front-side bus rate, leading to a theoretical maximum near 672 MHz. Earlier Katmai models offer better performance; lower ranges of the Katmai series can often overclock to a speedier 133-MHz front-side bus rate.
