i modded a p2 mmc2 300/66 cpu via resistor swap to make the cpu default to 450/100.it booted ok in win xp pro and ran ok till the load really got to it .i beleive a tad increase in voltage would have made it perfect ,then again not all cpu are the same so chances are the mmc2 300 should work at 450,maybe the 266 would work better at 400 or 333 at 500 a possibility the 366 faled to boot at 100fsb i tried a few so don't attempt to swap the resistor from r73 to r71 pinout location on the socket side of the cpu card

How do you mod it? Can you provide some more details?

pull the cpu out look for the refference numbers above + swap the resistor over by prying out with a stiff razor + resoldering to the vacant resistor position ,tedious stuff but it works with hp 4150,ibm tp600e,390x etc.but on hp and 390x one must use pc100 ram,though the tp600e seems not problematic with onboard 32mb ram too so keep that in mind.
