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. Don't forget to check 
out the FAQ.
