Clock Multiplying In A Celeron

[TechTalkie]

is it possible to change the clock multiplier in a celeron? is there any special method to do this?

Sadly, clock multipliers have been impossible to unlock on Intel chips ever since the Pentium II came out.

If it's overclocking you're trying to do, Celerons are really easy and stable overclocking CPUs. Just change the bus and maybe the voltage and you're set. If it posts - you're good to go.

Please read the FAQ: How do I unlock the multiplier on an Intel processor?

Daovonnaex, it's not quite "all" P2's that are locked, just ones starting at a certain point. Intel did a full lock starting right after the 350/400 P2s were released, meaning that most(but not all) of those CPUs are locked, with the ones before them being multiplier limited, and the ones after them being multiplier locked. While that's a rough estimate(I'm sure there are some lower speed CPUs that are locked too), it can more or less be considered the general rule of thumb. Anyways, getting back to the topic, all Celerons were made after the lock was implemented, so everyone is right in that you have to overclock the FSB.

Full multiplier locks, limits and dates are given in the FAQ above.
