CPU ratio selection

[superdave1984]

I am experimenting with an hp Compaq d220 here at work. It has a 2.2 Celeron. I was hoping to see what I could get out of it, but when I try to access the location in setup, it says CPU ration selection "locked". I have reset the CMOS but this had no effect. When I select it, it gives me no options. How do I monkey with this thing?

Cause Prebuilts do not let you overclock. They lock the CMOS Setting.
Most of them don't, anyways..

Well, that just sucks. Now I'll just have to do real work instead of having fun. There has to be a way to unlock it though. I would think.

Possible, but highly unlikely.

the celerons multiplier is locked, i had one awhile ago and i used the fsb

i've heard of breaking a solder joint for dell mobo's and stuff. maybe look into that but unless it's otherwise useless i wouldn't risk doing that.
