Fixing Pentium 4 Clock Speed

This happened a few years ago, but I never bothered to get it fixed since this PC is pretty much used for internet, word, basic things. Originally, it was a Pentium 4@ 2.4 ghz. After some problems that occured (which I can't remember), I had to go into safe mode and fix it. Ever since that day, it's been clocked at 1.6ghz.

Last I checked, there was no way to raise it because it's a Compaq and they lock your BIOS. But this info is YEARS old so I don't know if there is some new method of fixing it.

Also, I got this from a user elsewhere:

"Since your FSB is defaulted to 100mhz spec, it's "safe" mode is 66mhz. Your multiplier is 24x, so you have 66.67 x 24 = 1600 MHz."

It's a Compaq Presario from...4-5 (?) years ago.
 
It's either:
in the BIOS,
access through a boot utility,
a jumper on the motherboard.

That's about the only way they would be able to change the FSB.
