multiplier selection on athlon xp 2000

Hello all. I severed some bridges on my cpu, and now have a multiplier of
8.5. Is selecting a lower multiplier possible on a super locked cpu? Did a
brief search on the net, and haven't been able to find out if this is
possible. I thought that if it was super locked, this prevented you from
selecting any multiplier?

Thanks

That is correct. Since yours is week 42, there was (very) small chance that
it's unlocked, but it looks like you got lucky All the "traditional"
multiplier adjustments should work (pin paining, bridge modification, etc).
