YuppieScum 0 Posted February 6, 2000 Pentium 2's all have a multiplier lock - so the only way to o/c them is by changing the FSB, and you can only do that if the PLL that generates the FSB clock can be re-programmed (Ars Technica has good articles on both these subects). The easiest way to see if SoftFSB will work is to go over the mobo looking for a 20(ish) pin DIL chip that has a designation as listed in FSB...not fun. Also Microid Research (www.mrbios.com) used to do a line of replacement BIOSs for most motherboards - they be able to help. Share this post Link to post
