how can 'easytune4' work?

[acidvoodoo]

i got it with my new gigabyte motherboard. how does it work though? my athlox xp 2100 is locked i believe, so can it actually do anything to overclock my cpu

How? Well it can't change the multiplier if its locked. It can change the base clock fed to the CPU. This can make a CPU designed to run at 133MHz x the multiplier perhaps run at 140MHz x the multiplier. There are other things to set, such as the voltage, which can make the CPU more luckly to OC successfully. I con't know what they actually include in their utilty. Start it up and see what's available.
