Which one should I buy? A pretested slot 1 P3-700E(@933) with a Vantec P3D-5030 dual fan cooler from PC Nut for $200 or should I purchase a boxed slot 1 p3-800E some where else and try to OC it @1Ghz or more.

You should get the pretested one because you know it will at lease go to 933. But The 800e will do fine also.
If the 700 is more expensive by a lot go with 800e

Mine wasn't even pretested, just a retail version, and I got mine to 933MHz with no problems. I am running 945MHz right now, but as soon as my new memory gets here, I am going for at least 966MHz, and may even try for 980MHz.

Go for PCNut. I got my P3 700 there too. The slot1 P3's have been known to hit 1.1Ghz. 933 is a bare minimum. I cannot guarantee you 1Ghz+ from it but with proper voltage, memory and cooling it's more likely than not.Quote:
