Not really, not in recent years. Way way back, in the days of the Intel
Slot CPUs, you could cut traces and or solder in jumpers to change the frontside bus speed between 66 MHz and 100 MHz and set a variety of core voltages. This allowed overclocking of 66 MHz FSB Intel CPU's by 50% as long as the motherboard supported a 100 MHz FSB. There were also adapters that allowed using a PPGA CPU in slots, and that included jumpers for setting voltages and switching the FSB between 66 MHz and 100 MHz. For the present, for Intel CPUs, motherboards without overclocking provisions are, at best, NOT the place to get your start in overclocking. And at worst, are not going to be overclockable at all (Intel brand motherboards fall into the latter category.) Phil Weldon "Loane Sharp" wrote in message ...

Hahaha... it turns out the P2's up to 333 MHz have unlocked multipliers, and this workstation had the option to set them. But well, it's the last Compaq I managed to O/C ;-) -- Thomas |
