Sounds like you do have a Katmai which is OK but based on the older .25 micron die. It may or may not overclock as well as a Coppermine, you're at the luck of the draw with any of them to get a real good overclocker. All PIII's are multiplier locked that I've ever heard of. There is still very little difference in the prices of the two. Maybe a few $ more for Coppermines. What memory do you run? With good quality PC133 it will usually help the overclocking a bit. I also don't think your Soyo board will support the Coppermine. I have a Soyo 6VBA that won't so I am running a 533/133 Katmai on it clocked to 620, which is all the FSB the board has.

Take Smoke's advice as fact if it works and fiction if it don't!!!
