Overclocking
You can probably guess that the 0.13-micron manufacturing process opens up the potential for the Pentium III to be a great overclocker. Our retail 1.2GHz processor was able to hit 1.44GHz (9 x 160MHz), unfortunately the board we tested on (ASUS TUSL2-C) would not allow voltage adjustments thus preventing us from getting a reliable set of benchmarks at 1.44GHz.
With voltage adjustments you should be able to hit 1.35 – 1.5GHz pretty easily with the 1.2GHz Pentium III.
