XP-Ms are not clock locked within a certain range. They only have a
maximum lock. For example an XP-M 2500 would probably have a maximum
lock at around 13.5. Anything under that is fair game for a multiplier
if your MB supports it. This is in contrast to newer XPs which are
completely clocked locked, and you can only adjust the FSB speed.
The biggest issue with XP-Ms is does your motherboard support
Multipliers. Also XP-Ms require less voltage, and the motherboard may
actually supply too much juice; since XP-Ms are actually cherry picked
XPs they should run fine however. If your board doesn't support
multipliers in the bios you can do workarounds, but they have a certain
amount of risk:
