You MIGHT, and I emphasize MIGHT be able to unlock the slot processor by following the guide in this (http://forum.oc-forums.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=67133). I honestly have no idea if it'll work or not as I have not tried it. I'm not sure if the PPro is soft-locked or completely locked but I do know that it isn't unlockable.

The regular Pentium 200 were not locked (just change multi by moving mobo jumpers), but I'm not sure about the pro. I don't believe the cele 366 can be unlocked, as I tried pin taping on mine 3yrs ago...no luck. :(

It was really never clarified as to if it worked on Celerons or not. I don't think PPro's can be completely unlocked, but Pentum MMX's were soft-locked so that you could lower the multiplier but not raise it.

Heck, why even change the multiplier when you can just set the fsb to 100 for 550mhz? That is a much better all around the board overclock than changind the multi as it overclocks the whole system and provides a larger fsb for all the info to flow through. Almost all Celeron 366's that I have run accross with hit 100 fsb.

If an Intel CPU is locked, it can't be unlocked. We answer this question every other day. Do a search people.

Like I said, I've never tried the tape mod and had no idea if it worked. It was basically a stab in the dark. Frankly I have my doubts as to it's validity but some have reported success so I posted it.
