What if there were no hypothetical questions?
I'd definately wait for that to be available if i was you.. here are the specs.
-CPU ID change (from 0683 to 0686)
-Correction of errata . . .
-5\% shrink in die size
overclocking..ahh one of my favorite hobbies
my first OC was my 486sx-25 which i ran at 33 mHz. I'd never even heard of overclocking, I was just reading my mobo manual one day and saw the jumper settings for different speeds.. the gears started grinding slowly, hmmmmmmmmmmm....
So I set the jumpers from 25 to 33 and viola, it worked and i was pretty stoked. Doom and Xwing now flew!
Now i run a celery300a @ 464 h2o cooled and a Duron 650 @ 900 Gorb cooled.
Oh yeah, my TNT1 is OC'd and so is my GF2MX.
And i overclocked my Volkswagen with a turbocharger.

theres some great overclocking equipment (and even a celeron water cooler) at < www.techpatrol.com.au > , thats where i got my stuff for tnt and cpu. they are in australia, but it is still a good guide as to what kinda stuff in available.
av, i would love to water cool my cpu, but im too scared of spraying my whole comp with water, or condensation. how do you keep the water cold? theres a guy at overclockers.com.au that used a radiator from a car to keep it cool

Hmmn. Think is that I want the drivers to automatically switch to headphone mode when i put 'em in..
Hmn. The livedrive has a headphone socketon it doesn't it.
if i could get schematics of the connector..
how many of you overclock or mod your hardware? What do you overclock and/or mod? Good results? Bad results? Favorite mods? Etc.
Personally, I've overclocked 2 Celerons (333 -> 375 and 400 -> 450), and modified my SB Live! Value to have 4 - 1/4" line inputs (I have 2 synths and didn't want to buy a mixer
I pretty much use my duron system for gaming now, it's sooooo much faster

My comp is a PIII 800EB, with < www.memory-man.com > 133 rated memory, ASUS 7700 GeForce2, ASUS CUSL2 board. I have the FSB running at 153Mhz, and have very rare lockups. Not bad, considering I'm using the heatsink and fan that came with the PIII, and I forgot to take the tape off of the heatsink thing, thus exposing the thermoconducting goo (shwoops).
I do feel really dumb, now that I read about the difference between the PIII 600E and the 800EB... uh, there isn't one. EB means that the FSB is running 133, but there is no way for the chip to block whatever you want to put in it. So, as long as the PIII 600 wasn't part of a bad batch, it would probably be as stable as an 800 (being from the same wafer). So, I could have saved myself around a 100 bucks.
I'm too scared to overclock my video card, plus the tools that ASUS supplies to accomplish this don't run well under Win2K.
Thank you!

OK, so I plan on buying a ThermalTake Golden Orb fan for my CPU (prev. post, FC-PGA PIII). Is there any difference between the 64dia and the 69dia?
Either one will fit on the chip.
The 69dia is preferable for overclocking because it has a larger heatsink area. The model # is FC0370.
The 64dia is for motherboards without a lot of space around the CPU. The model # is FC0370-2.
