there was a seller selling sawtooth pulls tested at 600MHz overclocked. they provided a means to change the cpu settings. if it was not jumpers, then it was a modded cpu module. cant remember the name... maybe i have it around here. new items are usually 1GHz and up. slower ones are a thing of

weird name operator headgap, their website is still up, no idea if they have the item any more. look in the used pulls. it was cheaper than an aftermarket upgrade. maybe $45-$60? i considered it once. price was cheap. they guaranteed it and had replacement units in case it failed... you could

these DIMMs are running at 100MHz (underclocked) so they perform the same. if you could make them run at 133 the CPU would also be OC'd by 33.33% and therefore probably freeze up. that speed generally is beyond what the CPU can do. and the fans can't take it. some of the G3's can be OC'd well,
