System configuration is determined more by the motherboard, not the processor. A 450 MHz Pentium III was only available in a Slot 1 package, and operated on a 100 MHz FSB. All other specifications of a system (chipset, memory, sound, hard drive, etc...) are dictated by other factors.

Why doesn't my Intel Pentium III at 450 MHz support an 80 GB hard drive?
The processor has nothing to do with how large a hard drive is supported. Most Pentium III-era motherboards / BIOSes support up to 137 GB hard drives. You have thus likely not installed the drive correctly.
Can Sun Solaris 10 be installed on an AT motherboard with an Intel Pentium III processor?
I've yet to encounter an AT motherboard that supported a Pentium III processor. All the same, it is possible to run Solaris 10 on a Pentium III computer. You'll need at least 256 MB of RAM, however.
What is the clock speed of an Intel Pentium II?
The fastest "classic" Pentium is clocked at 200 Mhz. The fastest Pentium with MMX extension is clocked at 300 Mhz. The fastest Pentium II is clocked at 400 Mhz. The fastest Pentium III is clocked at 1.4 Ghz. The fastest Pentium 4 is clocked at 3.8 Ghz. The fastest Pentium D is clocked at 3.7 Ghz. The fastest Pentium M is clocked at 2.26 Ghz. The fastest Pentium Dual-Core is clocked at 2.5 Ghz.
When was Pentium III created?
Pentium III was created in 1999.
What is the difference between a Pentium R and Pentium III processor?
There is no "Pentium R" processor. Knowing this, the biggest difference is that the Pentium III exists and the other does not.
What type of RAM is in an Intel Pentium III?
The L1 cache in the Pentium III is SRAM.
When was the Intel Pentium III released?
The Intel Pentium III was released on February 26, 1999.
Is the Intel Pentium III newer than the Intel Pentium?
Yes.
Can you install an Intel Pentium 4 on an Intel Pentium III motherboard?
No, you cannot.
Is the Intel Pentium 4 much faster than the Intel Pentium II?
As a whole, the Pentium 4 has a higher maximum performance than a Pentium III. The Pentium III performs the same as or better than Pentium 4 at the same clock speed, but the Pentium 4 has a higher max clock speed (which the Pentium 4 was designed for).
What processors are equal to the Intel Pentium III?
The AMD K6-III and early Athlon processors are roughly equivalent in speed and performance. Via C7 processors, although released much later, are close in terms of performance to a Pentium III.
What can you upgrade a Pentium ll processor to?
That will depend on the motherboard and BIOS. If the board supports a 100 MHz Front Side Bus and has the proper microcode updates, a 1.1 GHz Pentium III (using a Slotket) is possible. If the board is limited to only 66 MHz, a 450 MHz Pentium II, or a 500 MHz Celeron is about all you can do. It may be possible to install a Pentium III even then, but it will run underclocked and likely not run much faster than the 500 MHz Celeron.
