There have been discussions on the list about a way to hack it. The other main difference between a DA and QS 733 is the Level 3 cache on the chips. The 733 DA, being the high end of the DA line, has 1MB (iirc) of level 3 cache, while the 733 QS, being the entry level end of the QS line had no level 3 cache and ran about as fast (maybe SLIGHTLY faster) than a 533MHz DA with the level 3 cache. I put an 800mhz (second generation entry level QS processor with no level 3 cache) into a 533MHz DA and barely noticed a speedup, but throwing in an 867 with the level 3 cache was a very noticeable speed bump.
