It depends. What type of pIII do you have? the classic or the coppermine version? If the coppermine version should be easier and safer to overclock

as long as your fsb goes high enough, i have a 667 now, but i can only overclock it to 150mhz*5.0=750MHz, it's also a good idea that you have some good pc133 or pc150 ram that will survive the higher bus speeds. make sure you have excellent cooling and a lot of thermal compound.
