Great news confirming the mods. Yes, you are right, the nearby resistor to 8% resistor gives about 5% overclock as well.
How I did 133MHz? I used so called turbo-PLL circuit, which is a Japanese originated overclocking trick. You chance the 14.31818MHz standard XTAL of the clock circuit with faster XTAL. But then you have to feed correct reference clocks to the main board from a "piggyback" clock generator . It is a trick that serious overclockers use. There is not so much room for the piggyback in a laptop, so I used the PCMCIA cage to host the extra clock generator and fed the clocks by wire for the mainboard. I didn't get 24/48MHz clock working reliably by wires so USB does not work correctly if I use the turbo-PLL. I still have turbo-PLL installed in my TP600E but I run it now everyday with 108MHz FSB.
With this 700MHZ PIII I have now, the fastest speed it run stabile was 833MHz. But now it won't run at higher multiplier anymore (due to unlucky visit at 600X motherbord)
I am looking to find a cheap 850MHz PIII-MMC2-processor to try to hit 1 Gig.

obviously your at the forefront of tp600 developments,priviledged to communicate with you,that pll trick certainly requires absolute surgical skills,i have 2 tp600e,p111@702+p111 celeron @486mhz,both running @108fsb +really im impressed with the improvement the celeron gave over the p11 400 really,at his stage i'm trying to work out why pleap control panel fails automaticaly load the cache at startup ,it comes with a failed to load etc at start up in xp ro,so what i done is uncheck the enable at startup on the menu +now it boots with no startup errors +then i just click on the icon to trigger the cache,did you have this experience with the software?

that 700 cpu you got, that wont revert to the full speed since you installed on the 600x have you considered tempoarily removing the cpu+revert it back to speedstep active + replay the procedure again?
at this stage i will look for a p111 750 to upgrade my rig from the current 650cpu ,am pondering if i add another1kohm resistor to r157 , that may constitute in a 8+5% increase in the fsb,have you tried c21 to r153 at all? are r 153,r157+r164 the only options the pll will support?conversely do you think its possible to modify the mmc2 p11(66fsb)cpu sereis
to default to 100 fsb?why i ask is because i have some mmc2 366,400,433(66fsb)cpus to mod some hp 4150 (non b)laptop,problem with those models are they wont boot with the 433 /450 celeron+p111 500 mmc2 either +only allow the 366/400 p11 to boot,despite the 100 fsb sdram i fitted.then i figured if the cpu can default to 100 fsb the hp bios will detect the id string atleast,(seens that i heard one chap atleast got the p111mmc2 450 to work on the hp,they indeed work on 100fsb)i am looking into a way to get the bios to allow the faster mmc2 cpus to boot on that 4150,i beleive on fcpga skt 370 coppermines you can modifie the bsel contacts to allow the processor to function @66,100,133 fsb,i cant see why the same cant be done with mmc2 66/100 fsb cpus,100-133 of couse may require the fster plls 133fsb
shuch as in your rig,but the 66fsb cpus can potentially reap a 41% gain
+maybe no bios mods needed.because the id strings are unchanged.
this would b a good thing for many notebook overclockers,thus get some use out of a perfectly good cpu (before the upgrades).
there are 750 mmc2 around $70-80 on ebay,i havent seen any 800-850 for while,but the 750 can give you around 1ghz on your rig.
do you have a dock 111 setup?i got one running raid +that really perks up the performance.i highly recommend for any tp 600/765/770 owner,am planning to try out a voodoo 11 on the dock soon,i'm rapt these 600s,they are very strong+versatile machines.sorry to read about the bad cpu experience you got with that dud cpu,i only hope the trader refunded you or compromised for the hassle.
