Ah right - the joys of dual boot...
There is a way to change the multiplier for boards that do not support it -
called the pin-mod - it is not as hard as it may seem. - and is easily
reversible compared to modifying the bridges on a cpu
I have used the 5 wire method and am now using the two wire 5-3 method on my
KT333 (the single wire does not work on it).
Check out Michael Brown's site at http://www.emboss.co.nz/amdmults/ for
info
on the two wire mods
or
http://www.ocinside.de/index_e.html for the 5 wire pin mod.
