Isn't there a jumper or two on the circuit board that you should dis/connect
according to the MoBo's manual to effect this? MoBos that don't have either
a BIOS menu choice or a jumper set up and rely on a software hack perhaps
mean that they are not meant to run (reliably) at anything other than default
speeds - on the other hand it may just mean that HP/Dell/etc. were providing
something cheap & cheerful with my granny in mind and couldn't be bothered to
fic their buggy BIOS'. With Gentoo compiling its own software the demands
placed on a machine are somewhat more onerous than that seen by a typical
M$Windoze setup.
