Hello,
I have an old dinosaur Compaq Pressario with a 233mhz processor. With a simple change of the jumper, you can also set the processor to either 266 or 300Mhz. I have switched it out for a different processor which is a 450mhz. Problem is, it is only reading at a 300mhz. Is there anything I can do to make it see the whole 450mhz?
Thanks in advance.

Not if the board restricts it. You can only overclock it as high as allowed by the hardware. Life is more painless for those who are brainless.
The K6-2 recognizes the 2x multiplier setting as 6x...so if you have the option to set the FSB & multi settings separately, try the multi at 2x & the FSB at 75MHz. If that's not possible, is there a jumper setting for 166MHz? If so, try it...it may run the CPU at 400MHz. BTW, the 233MHz Pentium runs at 2.8v...most K6-2's run at 2.2v. If you can't adjust the CPU voltage down to 2.2v (or at least 2.4v), it won't be long before you fry the CPU.
you sure the mobo supports the speed? flashed the bios?
CORRECTION: "If that's not possible, is there a jumper setting for 166MHz? If so, try it...it may run the CPU at 400MHz"
That should have been 133MHz. Sorry.
You're lucky it runs at all!
