My Pentium III board only supports CPU’s of speeds up to 700MHz (800MHz etc). Is there any way I can overclock the thing to support faster processors?
A. You wouldn’t be “overclocking” the thing to put any faster 100MHz system bus processor in it. The board manufacturer probably only listed the fastest processor available at the time they wrote the information. Because PIII processors have an internal multiplier lock, you could run an 850E. There were also the rare 1000E (100MHz FSB) and even more rare 900E processors that were compatible.
