    The Performance 1/Professional systems are akin to what you will see in our Hardware Buyer's Guide as the High-End Gaming PC. These machines are the best you can find in a single CPU Intel solution, be it for gaming or otherwise.

    Notice that no Pentium IIIs are planned to work with a 100MHz FSB above 850MHz. With only four pins to control the clock multiplier, the Pentium III architecture can only send the motherboard its multiplier setting up to 8.5x. So 1133MHz (133x8.5) appears to be the maximum speed a Pentium III can reach on current i820 motherboards without overclocking.
