hi guys
at the moment im running my p4 2.6 at 3 by setting fsb to 150.
i have pc3200, asus p4pe.
ie 20 * 150: 3ghz
is there anyway to alter clock multiplier on the chip ? ie lower and
increase fsb


Nope, all Intel chips are die-locked (as are AMD chips now too). If you
want, you might be able to run your memory out-of-sync with the FSB (if your
board supports memory multipliers 1:1), but the benefits of doing so are
minimal. You'll probably get a better performance gain by setting the memory
timings to be as tight (low) as possible.
