In the quest for overclocking, some people like to take chances and they buy the cheapest CPU they can find, and hope for the best when it comes to seeing how much speed they can squeeze out of it. Other people like to buy a pretested CPU because they want a guaranteed speed, at a fraction of the cost of a real CPU at the same speed. To be honest, I'm both those people, sometimes I buy the cheapest CPU just to be daring, other times I buy a pre-tested CPU when I hear of a good deal.
Well, Humphrey over at PCNut let me know that they got in a very sweet batch of Slot 1 cC0 P3-700s, many of which would hit 933 at or near stock voltage, and most would go 1GHz+! Ever since I bought my BE6-II v2.0, I've been in search of a CPU that would run over 1GHz, and this seemed like the perfect match. I immediately ordered a CPU, and it promptly arrived several days later via FedEx.
