I try to explain part of this. There can be two explanations to the motherboard speeds. Some 66mhz socket 7 boards actually supported 75 and 83 mhz FSB's through the use of undocumented jumper settings. The other possiblity is that certain cpu's remap the multiplier. For example, most k6-2's will remap the 2x multiplier setting to 6x. So setting a board to 66*2 would yield 396 (66*6).

I need help badly! First, how do I get the rubber caps off my jumpers? Second, how can A cpu go faster than its motherboard limit is?
For example, the highest setting for external bus on my mboard is 66mhz, which it is on, the other factor you need, (I forget what its called!) is set at 3.0. (66mhz x 3.0 = 200mhz, which is how fast I go now) Anyway, the highest setting for that is 3.5. Yet the overclocking instructions on the site say I can go it 250mhz! How is it possible???
P.S. My motherboard is an AOPEN AP5VM.
THANX!

And what would these undocumented jumpers settings be? How can I find out?
