I just purchase an ASUS P5LD2 MOBO it hs a function that allows you to change the multiplier in the BIOS setting from 14 to 17 my old 550 cpu was abe to take advantage of this on my old ABIT Fatal1ty board. In the 500 series cpu the 550 and higher CPU the multiplier could be changed it helped alot in overclocking. My question is which CPUs in the 600 series
allow you to lower the multiplier. This question may have been answered before. I did a search but couldn't find any answer.

thanks in advance
 
Sort of. With enhanced speedstep, the CPU can drop down to a 14x multiplier. I don't know if the BIOS will allow you to set that.

Most 550 CPUs didn't come with unlocked multipliers (I had 2). I think the higher speed P4 3.xGHz processors had a couple of unlocked multipliers to allow 1066MHz and 800MHz FSB use. To enable the limited multiplier adjustment the CPU needs to support the "Performance Requirement Bit" (1066MHz or 800MHz FSB) in the Prescott core. No 6x0 processors support 1066MHz FSB IIRC (except the EE).
