Thinkpad 570 overclocking

hallo

i own a thinkpad 570, PII 366MHz, 192mb of ram. I know that a overclock from 300 to 450Mhz is possible. But would my cpu run at 550Mhz by applying the 100MHz fsb mod? Is it possible to do the 8MHz fsb mod on 570?

thanks

edit:

i installed powertweak II. with this i was able to change the pentium 2 l2 cache latency from 5 to 1, and i could also enable agp 2x for the neo magic 256av! but i am still interested in overclocking the 570. raising the fsb to 74mhz would be enough.
is it possible? do the 600 and 570 have the same system boards?

i heard that direct3d can be enabled by installing directx 8 beta. i installed dx 9.0c already, is there another way to enable d3d?

thanks in advance

Aa far as I remember the 66->100MHz mod has been decribed in the 600E thread somewhere. Basically it needs to find one pin in the clock generator and lift a pin and tie it 3.3V or GND with a resistor.

You have to check that the clock gen is the same as in 600E.

As far as I remeber, one guy got his 600E toasted with this mod, though...
