Good question. Multipliers on Intel chips are locked and can't be unlocked. As to how your motherboard can use a multiplier higher than what is listed in the BIOS, I don't know other than it just reserves room for higher multiplied processors.

Check for a BIOS update as it may display the supported multipliers for that board. Usually they can be found on the manufacturers website.

ok il try to update the bios but now it says the multiplayer is 5!!!! so i think its not a bios thing cuz when i got the board it was on dip switches and i put it on jumpreles

The reason is that intel chips haven't used the board for multiplying since the pentium II days, the chips do it themselfs so it doesn't matter what the board supports unless you have an engineering sample which is unlocked
