Sorry to break the bad news to you, but unless its an ES(engineering

sample) you can't change the muliplyer. FSB is your only option for

fun. :?

Thats what I was gonna say. Try the FSB like 1Tanker said.

I am under the impression he would be your best bet considering he is a Intel Fanboy.

you can;t unlock a locked INTEL processor. You could with the athlon XP series though.

One workaround is to get a custom bios. I've read reviews where they've used them on mohterboards that use the socket 478 chips. I've never seen one though. Maybe someones been blowing smoke up my ass.....

Eeeh. That sounds far too Brokeback....

You knew better. Why you'd "need" to unlock the multiplier simply to overclock is anyone's guess, that board can push bus speeds far beyond the overclock limit of your CPU.

Nope. The only workaround is to put the chip in a time machine, and move it back to before the connections were fused together.
Any attempts at unfusing will result in a dead chip.

hey the p4 3.0 but the fsb cant go more then 245 with 266 mhz lowered ram then the mainboard will reset the bios , is there no pencil trick i saw a movie doing with amd athlon xp and it worked ye

Can you drop the RAM even more? 200 would be fine since it's in dual-channel mode and you're overclocking anyway.

But your CPU is likely near its limit.
