Does the cpu multiplier have to be supported in the BIOS ?

[aberant]

given that the multiplier is locked in Intel CPU's (never had an AMD ) Thanks a lot

Yup...if your bios can support higher multiplier u will find no problem plug newer AMD CPU.

for the present intel cpus, the answer is no because as you rightly pointed out,that the multiplier is locked in Intel CPU's!

Actually it depends. For example by mobo's multiplers max out at 5.5x (I think). But I ran my celery 600 (9x) at 927 (103*9) by pulling out all the multiplier jumpers. It completely ignores the BIOS setting and just uses the Intel locked multiplier.
