The AthlonXP At 4.5 Watts

I'm trying to find best combination for my PC and I'm really confused. Finally I decided to go with this combination:

nForce2 IGP + mcp-t chipset motherboard.
2 x 256 MB - DDR333 memory
AMD Sempron 2500+ CPU

I will do this to run CPU as Mobile:

Have someone tried this with similar setup?

Which nForce2 IGP + mcp-t chipset motherboard is suitable for this trick?

And I'm trying to find an answer to this problem:
Chipset Register For Changing The Multiplier

To make all this happen, the motherboard BIOS must activate a few registers to provide the required functionality. If this is not the case, the system simply crashes at the very attempt.

Chipset Register Bit/Function
NVIDIA nForce2* F6, Bit 4
E7, Bit 4 Halt Disconnect
FID_Change Detect
VIA KT133A 55 Bit 2=1
VIA KT266, KT266A, KT333 95 Bit 2=1
VIA KT333CF, KT400, KT400A, KT600 D5 Bit 2=1
*only works on a few boards


Unfortunately, it is only possible to change the multiplier on a few motherboards. One of the fastest, the Asus A7N8X-E, crashed every time we tried.
