What Happened to Abit Motherboards
They may have sought to discourage overclocking by locking the multiplier, but...
People pretty routinely nearly doubled the clocks on Celeron 300As, anyway. :)

The legend was that Celeron 300A CPUs packaged in Malaysia were more overclockable than those packaged in Costa Rica. I specifically hunted down a Malaysian one, and it happily ran at 450 MHz for years.

I remember that as well. The details elude me, but I seem to recall my 300A was running at 464.25mhz on an ABit B7.
