Intel CPU's are multiplier locked. It doesn't matter what you set the multiplier to, it is only gonna run at 8x if that is the 100 MHz CPU, or 6x if that is the 133 MHz CPU. Most boards now days have all the adjustments made in BIOS, with very few, if any, jumpers on the MB. Your BIOS setup program should automatically detect the proper multiplier and set it for you anyway.
