CPU speed> 800mhz L2 cache> 256KB Frontside buss max speed> 133 CPU Core voltage> 1.7volts Some settings are dip switch or jumper selectable on the motherboard. But that doesn't mean the cpu chip will respond to the changes in the settings. Some times it just won't do any thing. Some times it smokes the chip. I personaly wouldn't bother. 800mhz is pretty quick for a P3.
