from my understanding...
all intel chipset is produce in one speed, which is the highest that family can goes.

before they market it out they simply lock it to certain speed.
i even heard one time got ppl buy celeron n unlock it to pentium...

anyone know how to unlock pentium 4 2.8G? it is not overclocking.

i don't think you can "unlock" or increase/decrease the multiplier of an Intel's processor unless it's an Engineering Sample ,and there is no way you can turn a Celeron to a Pentium processor as well.

But, if you want to overclock it, it can be done by increasing the front-side-bus (fsb).

Eg. processor with the speed of 2800MHz (2.8GHz) = 200 (fsb) * 14 (locked multiplier)
you can increase the fsb to 250 which will bring you to the speed of 250*14 = 3500MHz (3.5GHz)

Overclocking will increased the processor's speed but it won't change the cache of that processor.
