The Pentium III Coppermine 550E MHz processor offers superb overclocking potential. The vast majority of these processors can overclock upwards of 700 MHz with no additional cooling or increase in core voltage. Factoring in a high thermal tolerance rating and a low failure rate, the 550E represented Intel's first quality overclocking solution since the original Celeron series. For hardcore overclockers, the P3 550E offers immense possibilities; a significant number of processors of this type can scale toward 900 MHz, assuming that quality cooling is properly applied.
