try looking at the guide
here. change to socket view, barton, and set the fsb to 166. now, put in which multi you would like to try for.... say, 13.5x.
it will show you the socket holes that need to be connected. simply take some extremely small strands of copper wiring (from speaker wire, an old floppy cable, or anything really) and cut them so that they are short enough to form a "U" shape, which you will insert each end of that U-loop into the sockets shown. so, you'll need 5 U-loops.
trust me, it isn't very hard. just takes some good lighting, a steady hand, and decent eyesight.
in the BIOS, set the multi to AUTO. it will boot up with the multi you pinned for x 166. test it out and see if its stable.
my Tbred B 1700+ booted and ran @ 13.5 x 166 and 14 x 166. but it wanted more voltage than i was willing to give it for the moment. so you might need to increase vcore as well. whats your cooling look like?
