I donīt think so. Normaly old Chipsets have the FSBīs 50, 60 and 66. The
half off them are the PCI Bus Speed but for the CPU you only need the
FSB. If you have the Multiplier 10 you could have a theretical maximium
off 660 MHz for the CPU. Which chipset is on the motherboard? ...That
would be help to know more about that. 

Sorry for my english.
