Depends on the chip. The Coppermine-based PIII was offered up to 1133MHz (IIRC, the 1.13 was recalled after excessive heat caused stability issues) with Intel's 180nm process. The Tualatin PIII was offered between 1.0 and 1.4GHz, and was based on the 130nm process. It was basically used as a volume test shuttle for the upcoming 130nm Northwood P4.
Why is this important? The 130nm PIII's required much less voltage and ran MUCH cooler than the 180nm versions. Your 1.3 is definitely a cool-running Tualatin; Duncan's 1.0 could be either the hot Coppermine or the cool Tualatin. You can use CPU-Z to find out. What's funny is that the power consumption by either chip is considered near mobile-class by today's standards. The TDP on my i7-930 is over 4 times that of even the Coppermine.
