Pentium M multiplier unlock?!?!

AMDCam · Nov 27, 2005, 05:00 AM

Hey, I just saw the CPU database and it says the only, ONLY, ONLYYYYYYYYYYYY difference between the 533mhz fsb (7#0) Pentium M's are the multiplier. Same voltage, same fsb, same core, SAME PROCESSOR, just with a bigger stock multiplier. So is there anyway I can unlock the multiplier? And if not, how can I overclock it? Thanks

i highly doubt it is possible.. intel went through a lot in the p2 days to make sure retailers cant change multipliers and sell them as better cpus

Thanks man. Dang, it seems like a waste of a processor to have to get a new one for a new multiplier but it does make sense. Guess I'll just have to earn some money for more power (for once).
