CORRECTION:  466MHz should be 66MHz x 7.0

OVERCLOCKING:  And yes, this mainboard supports a 100MHz FSB.
 The BP6 was well-known for its overclocking/overvoltage and
many people pushed the 300MHz (66MHz x 4.5) to 450MHz (100MHz
x 4.5) and even the "top clock" Celeron PPGA 533MHz (66MHz x
8.0) to 800MHz (100MHz x 8.0), although those latter Celerons
required some serious over-voltage.

But the memory is rated for 100MHz (even though only running
at 66MHz), so if you want to overclock the FSB to something
over 66MHz, you can.  The most I ever tried was 525MHz (75MHz
x 7.0) and I'd say it's pretty hard to get those 400+MHz to
do the full 100MHz FSB.
