CPU Multiplier

'The multipliers are locked on PIIIs'

Is this correct? Its greyed out in my BIOS (CUSL2-C 1006A)

Is there any 'hacked' BIOS releases which can deal to this??

It is 100% locked and can not be hacked in any way. Intel uses a programible clock multiplier that is burned into the CPU. The only PII/III that are unlocked are "enginering samples". Very few review sights will even get their hands on these. The only way to overclokc is to raise the bus speed.

That is, except if someone figures out how to reprogram the infamous clock multiplier.

Man, when are they going to ship PCs with neural net processing units?

No one can simply reprogram part of the cpu microcode.. are you kidding?? That stuff is like top level security at chip companies like that! Not many out there even know the native language used to program the cpu microcodes, much less decipher it and then reverse engineer it.

PII 233, 266 and 300's were Unlocked!

Not that this helps or anything...

Sell that P3 MoBo and CPU on Ebay and get ya an AMD T'Bird setup!
