Excuse me if I don't know what I'm talking about but I've never seen this before.
I just bought an Asus p5n73-am and a P4-775 3.4/800/2M on ebay in 2 separate orders. The board is new but the CPU is slightly used. I was setting the BIOS which has a lot of nice oc possibilities but for the first time in my computer "career" this thing shows a CPU multiplier and is NOT grayed out. The number can actually be changed and I have moved it. I set it back where it was though before setting it because I wasn't sure what to do. Could I have possibly gotten an open multiplier intel chip for some odd reason? Or maybe this is not uncommon and even if I can change the number in the bios, it doesn't mean it will actually change?
I am verry curious...... or stupid.
thanks
