The voltage specifications for the coppermine processors are as follows
Pentium iii (Coppermine) External voltage = 3.3, Core voltage = 1.65 .
Now as for the voltage support for your motherboard, the only one that I see
that will support a P-III 700 is the SY-6BA+100. If this is the board that
you have you should have no problem with your new processor. If you are
using the SY-6BA+IV, this supports up to 600MHz, all the other 6BA models do
not support a 700MHz processor and have even been discontinued.
