Pentium II Multiplier

[brain_net]

I have read that the multiplier in the PII are locked,.. but just to try, i set the multiplier to 4.5 in my ABIT BF6.. and to my surprise,.. it does shows as a 450 mhz system...i when to windows.. used wCPUid.. and also it showed 450...
what going on here? it is real 450... ?

Most p2-400 chips are locked. How old is the chip?
If it was made before August 98 chances are that it may not be locked.

If wcpuid says it is 450 then it is pretty certain that it is 450, you could also try sandra
