Don`t know about the o\c. Heard that they are multiplier locked. Since your board supports 100MHz FSB you could move up to the P3. You will probably have to flash the bios and install updated board drivers.JT.
If it ain`t broke.......I ain`t interested

You can always use a program like SoftFSB if the multiplier is locked, the program seems to work on most comps, just dont let it overheat. =)
