Well, I got real brave and decided to try it! Using Rain 2.0, downloaded today from Cantek, and adjusting the VCore Voltage to 2.10 on my Asus P3B-F, and bumping the Bus Speed to 100Mhz--I successfully took my system to 600Mhz!
This is so cool, people are paying $450 for a 600Mhz PIII, chip(I just checked price at Buy.com), and I'm able to overclock my socket 370 400Mhz Celeron(which I paid only $40 online), to 600Mhz!

Lots of combos for the p3b-f mobo.

Regards. /jw

JW,

I've decided that I'm going to give the Abit VA-6 mb a try. The difference between this board and the ASUS P3C-2000 is that it has the same 5 PCI slots but has an extra ISA slot for my 56K modem card.

Am disappointed that I couldn't use the ASUS P3V4X but I suspect it could be my computer store's inexperience with it as well!

Sue :)
