locked ratio?

[ybsert]

hey her is a dumb question my ga6bxc m/b supports only up to 6.5 ratio but if a use a cel 700 i need 66mhz fsb X 10.5 ratio is it possible? how? please help! (or the coppermine celerons work under 100 mhz?)

Unfortunately Intel CPU's have a locked multiplier which from my understanding can not be unlocked. Therefore you are limited to increasing the FSB speed to overclock.
Not all Celerons I understand run a 66 mhz FSB and the 700 may infact use a 100 mhz FSB ( 7 x 100 ) which your motherboard should support. In order to run on a faster FSB you will need higher quality components and ram which is capable of doing this.

The Celeron 700 runs at a default 66 MHz FSB not 100 MHz. Generally, all you need to do is flash your motherboard's BIOS with the most recent upgrade and it'll work with the newer, higher CPU multipliers.

Even if it doesn't support it the chip itself carries the multiplier and it will tell the mobo to use that specific one.
