A follow-up:
I ordered a Retail Pent III 700 mhz from
Googlegear for $243, not wanting to pay the ransom that resellers are asking for the cBO Stepping version.
To my surprize, I received a 700 with cBO Stepping!
I popped it in the ABIT BX6-R2 using only the stock fan and that questionable "thermal pad" that comes with it.
I cranked it right up to 133 fsb

using 128 mb Mushkin 133mhz cas 2 rev 2, and just that quick, 933 mhz without any fiddling around.
I havn't even applied any of my Arctic silver thermal grease yet.
The TNT ULTRA didn't miss a beat... so far ;-)
plug your ears... YAAAAAAHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!
