so what speed is this PIII you have ?

what motherboard is it and

Is it really worth OC'ing a PIII ?
 
You need to be more specific, what kind of motherboard do you have, what kind of cooling do you have. And what do you mean it keeps resetting itself are you sure that you're saving the configuration when you exit the bios?
 
AFAIK all Pentium 3s were multiplier locked, which means that you can't OC them by changing the multiplier. I tried it once, even though I could set the multiplier to pretty much anything it wouldn't run at that speed. You need to change your FSB frequency, by the sounds of it the board it pretty old so you'll probably need to set some jumpers, though most P3 board only support 133MHz FSB which means that you can't OC - unless your FSB CAN go higher.

Oh and you can't use Rivatuner to OC your CPU, it's for video cards.
