Or get a good cooler and try changing these little jumpers on the motherboard and make it run like a P90 (it most probably will) or P100 (it also may). You even might be possible too try out whetever you like 100 = 2*50 or 100= 1.5* 66 :-) But beware! The cooling *has* to be good and the processor *will* have shortened lifetime.
