Is it possible to unlock a Pentium?

[DonSandro]

I just wanted to know so maybe one of these days i'll give it a try when i have a better chip.
If so how r u supposed to do it?
BTW i have a P3 850

There is no known way to unlock a multiplier locked P-III.

I wish you could unlock them, that would be so nice. But alas, you cannot so you are stuck with the same ol' multiplier.

Bwahahah....don't we all wish..the world would indeed be a better place...I could run a chip at a lower multiplier and higher bus speed, and get killer bandwidth scores....we'd have less time for this forum, because we would be off playing with our bus speeds, and clock multipliers, like we used to do back in the 486 early pentium days.
Being a clocker back then made me like a god to people who had a slow system...running at 33mhz bus speeds, I would lower the clock multiplier, and jump up the bus to either 40, 50, or 66mhz, and all of a sudden their system would seem to fly through programs with ease...and they wouldn't understand how the chip running a few mhz slower was now working better than it did at a higher clockrate....sigh.
I am thinking of buying a used 486/586 just to have fun again playing with the settings, I bet I could get a lot more out of an old 486 now as oposed to then
