p4 multiplier

I'm running an Abit it-7 max 2 with a p4 2.4A @ 2.88. In the Bios there is a setting to change the multiplier, but if I change it, nothing happens. When I reload the bios it's back at 18. Can the multiplier be changed on a p4 or am I stuck with 18?
 
Intel procs are factory locked, Athlon XP non-T-bred are also locked but can be unlocked.

The thing I am interested in is that the Tbred AXPs are factory unlocked so I can choose whatever multiplier I wish!
 
LOL! If you would have an factory unlocked Intel CPU you could consider yourself very very happy...

That would be very very lucky, only a few people get an unlocked P4 off the shelves.
 
its impossible
intel burns the internal multiplier bridges so it is virtually impossible to unlock unless somehow you managed to replace the burnt bridges (i am talking theoretically here regarding replacing bridges, i dont knwo of it would work, nor would it be easy to do so)

the engineering samples (es chips) they are talking about above have not had their multiplier bridges burned so it is possible to adjust them, but like said they are very hard to come across (usually involves inside connections, or a lot of $$$ to buy them from others who have acquired them)
