A friend of mine has this old computer with a Jetway 720BF motherboard,
64MB
of 168pin 100MHz SDRAM and a Pentium II (Slot 1) CPU (100MHz FSB) with
450MHz installed.

If you are lucky the CPU is not multiplier locked so you could increase it
and get some more speed that way.

It would be *really* surprising if it wasn't multipier-locked.

Surprisingly, I have a Intel PII 450 engineering sample picked up at a
surplus store and it is not multiplier locked. Rare but it does happen.



Lucky you. They are rare.

The memory is going on account of not enough beer. I know P1 weren't locked
and PIII are but am hazey about PII.

Every PII I've ever used was locked and it is my understanding that, except
for a few 'engineering samples' they all were.

Early stepping of Klamath PII (233MHz at least, perhaps 266 & 300MHz
as well) were unlocked, but later Klamath 233-300MHz and Deschutes
PII were locked.
