FSB backwards compatability.

it will run thogh with a lower Mhz, the multi is locked so it will be 200xthe CPPU's seting.

the boadr doesnt support 266 MHz FSB, or maybe it wil alow you to overclock to 266 MHz (thats 133 MHz real speed).

since the procesor has a locked multiplier (you need to short the tiny conductor spots (bridges) on the CPU surface labeled L1 to unlock it) so you can run the CPU at multiplier times the FSB, that is 10.5x100 = 1050 MHz.

Please steer me clear on this. If i where to have come to this forum and asked for info on upgrading my sys i would be quite stressed at being told to desolder some circuit on my cpu.
Perhaps my view is not share by many, but putting a soldering tool to a $150 or + cpu does sound quite drastic.
This is not the first time i have heard a recommendation of this type. There is also this thing about "making a link with a lead pensil" on the cpu circuittry.
Are 'nt these procedures fairly risky.
Would it not be preferable to simply get a faster clocked cpu.
Perhaps i am missing the point that using your way "we are beating the all powerfull cpu chip zillas" by overcloking what they do not want us to to, for obvious reasons.
However i would appreciate some mention as to the risk factor involved in these physical interventions to the cpu.

Thanks

Electric coolaid for everyone, except me, never touch the stuff !

Excuse my double post, first time. :-(
Would the pensil trick work for me:
Epox 8KTA+, Duron 750, PC-133, tnt2 m64, dma 33(I know it will go to 66 but my 20 gig drive is 33 :-( )
All stock settings, nothing is overclocked
