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.
