Pentium II ODP

Anyone have any information on how Intel controls and locks the clock multiplier at 5.0x on the P2ODP/module for socket 8 processors? I wonder what it would take to modify the clkmul on this module?

Thanks for your response. I will take a look at the URL that you provided, but the Pentium II Overdrive processor is not actually a slot 1 interface, it bolts right into the socket 8 that the Pentium Pro used to inhabit so I would imagine that the slot 1 information might not apply to this socket 8 module with undoubtably different pinouts. The clkmul is locked at 5.0x with a maximum of 66MHz for the FSB = 333MHz.

Oops!  That info won't help much then.  Unless it gives you an idea of what to do in order to "trick" yours into using  a different multiplier.

Ok, thats an idea......maybe I can get a data sheet for the P2ODP and see if I can ferrit out some clkmul info.

Thanks so much! :-)
Good luck with it.
