Pentium 100's were not multiplier locked. If you can find a manual for your motherboard(s), you can tell. If the motherbaord has multipliers that go above what it's set to right now, you can try it. I doubt you can overclock using the FSB. Most motherbaords that old didn't have much in the way of FSB adjusters. Try it with the multiplier though. Right now, it's prolly set to 66Mhz with a 1.5 mulitplier. If you can get it to go higher than that (2.0 multiplier or more), then you have the potential to overclock. The actual ability to overclock that particular chip, I don't know. You can always try.

Well, I'm off to go look for myself. If I should get back before I return, tell myself to wait for me.
