    Does anyone know if a pinmod exists to force a 667MHz FSB CPU to run at 800MHz? The chipset supports both 667/800MHz FSB CPUs so I would think it's possible.

    That page says that the FSB pin mod probably will not work with the Intel chipset.

    Perhaps I am confused, but it looks to me like my M1530 already runs the FSB at 800 Mhz.

    Unreasnbl, you have a 2.1GHz T8100 processor, which already has a rated FSB @ 800Mhz.

    Do you mean this one?

    Fiddly work indeed! I don't know if I really want to attempt something this delicate.

    Or ... am I way off base?

    You're right, it is fiddly work.

    I think it can be easy sometimes if you get lucky. For example, all I had to do was move a resistor. That's it, nothing else, just move it from one place to another.

    I don't know if I would have tried it if I had to cut a track with a blade :eek:
