CMOS is limited and does not give option to change multiplier settings, nor jumpers on MOBO

[big al]

Someone please help...Here is my specks....COMPAQ Presario 5WV280 AMD900mhz 392mb RAM....I am trying to overclock my processor...I have already unlocked it by penciling in the bridges on L1 however there is a problem...Thanks to COMPAQ the CMOS really sucks...The motherboard is a Socket A AZ31 and I called compaq and customer support said that the bios is made by compaq, not by the motherboard manufacturer... So anyways, the bios is very limited and does not give you an option to change the multiplier settings, and on the motherboard the only jumpers are for clearing cmos and setting the FBS at either 100 or 133...I tried setting the jumper on 133 and my computer would turn on but will not send info to the monitor (monitor will not display anything). So my question is.....is their any utility I can download to overide my bios to be able to select my own multiplier settings?? by the way, their is no bios upgrade that gives this option according to compaq support...Someone please help :)

At www.amdzone.com , I saw an article about socket A gold finger, made in Japan. It will enable all overclocks with any mobo! ;-)
