Strategy

Equipped with its 6.5× multiplier, the Pentium III Coppermine 866EB MHz is a contender for successful 1000+-MHz overclocking when paired with a quality motherboard. The 866EB demands a serious supply of wattage, so overclocking will require a massive forced-air heatsink cooler. The retail Intel heatsink will offer a minimal return at best; most configurations will reach 910 MHz before the system fails to boot.
