Missing multipliers

I have an A7V333 Rev 1.04 board with 1017 bios.
Just installed a mobile XP2600+ (266fsb) and highest multiplier available is 12.5.
I thought higher multiplier settings were available in this bios? I'm running jumper free mode.
Do I have to raise fsb to adjust cpu freq? Have I missed a critical bios setting somewhere?
My current pc2100 ddr limits me to 133/33 though.
According to what I have read, mobile XP's are not locked so I should be able to run any multiplier I
want.
TIA

Did you see BigBadger's answer to your original question ?

"The Mobile chip has a few differences from the desktop. First
because the Mobile is designed to use Power-Now the default
multiplier wont be properly detected on a desktop...I think
it detects at 6x or something similar. Your board does not
support '5th bit' multiplier control, which is why you can
only go to 12.5x....you need to do a pin mod or bridge
painting to get the cpu to detect with a higher multiplier,
i.e. above 12.5x. 1.475V is normal for a XP 2600 Mobile."

Sounds like you have one signal to modify, either via bridge
painting or via a pin mod. What you would be doing, is changing
the fifth multiplier bit manually.

This page seems to get mentioned a lot:

but I'm having trouble lining up the mods it suggests, with
a processor datasheet. Maybe someone else here, can state
with a little more certainty, just which bridge or pin needs
to be modded.

HTH,

Thanks,
For some reason, my previous post didn't show up on my newsreader and I didn't see any of the replies.
I thought it was lost in cyberspace and decided to repeat the question.
sorry about that....
