Strategy

While not as popular as its 550 MHz counterpart, the Pentium III Coppermine 600E does offer a respectable overclocking return. Most 600E chips can effectively scale to frequencies above 750 MHz with nothing more than a modest increase in the motherboard front-side bus speed. A slight increase in core voltage will often net a positive overclocking return beyond 800 MHz, using only the retail Intel heatsink.
