Multipliers on XP's are locked, and quite difficult to unlock.
There's some (messy) workarounds posted on various websites, but I
wouldn't fool with it. My 1.4 Tbird is factory unlocked, so rather
than run it at 10.5x133, I can set it to 11.5x135 (1553mhz).

XP 2200+ runs at 1767mhz, almost equals the performance of a P4 at
2.5 Ghz. Just to be clear here, I advocated tryin up to 143mhz, but
not to neccesarilly run at that speed. Now that you know it's stable
at 143, run it at around 140. That'll give you 1750mhz (nearly a
2200+ ;) and your PCI will be close at 35mhz.

Did you read the docs, run 'sensors-detect', and put the
appropriate lines in modules.conf and rc.local ? You don't need to
change anything in sensors.conf. As to, "no sensors found", you'll
probly still get that warning, but if you look at 'dmesg |less',
you'll see the later on in the boot process the i2c modules are
loaded.
