One good source of lonline overclocking information is located at http://www.sysopt.com. It includes among other things, fairly thorough overclocking, FAQ's and on ongoing survey of users who have successfully
(and sometimes unsuccessfully) over clocking thier CPU's

See Intel's website at http://www.intel.com
for a comprehensive list of certified overdrive compotible systems

Using the processor update utlity (CHECKUP3.EXE) a system builder can easily verify that the correct micocode update is present in all systems based on the Pentium Pro and Pentium II processors.
