What does SR mean in his post following your post mean by "internal
clock multiplier. SL3F7 is a 550 MHz Pentium III, with a 5.5x hardwired
multiplier. SL3JM is a 600 MHz Pentium III, with a 6x multiplier."?

One is a 550 MHz CPU, while the other is a 600. The multiplier determines
the speed. 5.5X100 = 550; 6X100=600.
There aren't that many 600 MHz Slot1 PIIIs -- most were 600E (Coppermines)
that work only with later-model Gateway Slot-1 systems.

OK, now I'm really unsure. I want a 600mhz katmai to put in this old
G6-450. So I must limit my search to those stepped SL3JM?

Why not go for a Powerleap upgrade - instead of 600mhz you can get 1.4ghz?

I upgraded my G6-400 over one year with a Powerleap 1.4ghz and am extremely
satisfied with it.

I get the PIII's free from old discarded systems. If I had to pay for
them I would opt for the Powerleap.
