Celeron 300a to 450, anyway to trick this slot cpu into thinking it's a 100 fsb

I'm not sure this is possible or not but I have 300a that was running at 450 in my system at one point. I have this 810 board with no front side bus adjustments. I've read that you can paint some pins and increase the voltage on this cpu, but is there a way to trick it into thinking it's a 100 front side bus cpu instead of 66?
thanks in advance.

there should be a dip switch on the mobo for changing the fsb from 66 to 100 unless the mobo don't support p2/p3 above 300mhz look closely it should be silkscreened on the pcb

I've have like four overclocked machines, i'm not really a newbie to this or anything. The board has NO FSB adjustments what so ever. If i stick my Iwill Converter card in there with my PIII700 I can get it to run at 933. The 300 is in slot format so a converter can not be used to set the fsb. Is there another way?

You need to cover pin B21 with tape. Tom's Hardware has a whole cookbook on how to. With pin B21 covered the voltage detected tells the computer that it a 100mhz fsb processor.
