I own a working VXPro+ (VIA Apollo VPX) based Pentium (Socket 7 & Super Socket 7) mainboard, a Pentium 200 MMX is plugged in and works well.
Is it possible to "overclock" a Pentium 200 MMX CPU to 233 MHz, e.g. just by using a multiplier of 1.5x (instead of 3x for 200 Mhz) ?
A small cooler is mounted also, so heat should not be the problem. I am not sure about the usage of the 1.5x multiplier instead of having a multiplier setting of "3.5x" (not there), it is not mentioned by the mainboard manual.
Is it a usual setting for 233MHz to use the 1.5x multiplier?
Edited later: Yes, I ignored the last pages of the manual, 1.5x is usual. Will try it.
