3) CPU bus speed can be run at 100mhz or 133mhz via pin mod. I'm currently running Pentium M 750 1.86 (133x14) at 1.40Ghz(100x14)
4) Adjustable CPU multiplier - x6,x8,x9,x10,x11,x12,x13,x14 (some other Pentium M series may also have up to x21 multiplier)

Btw for the record for people like me wondering what multipliers are supported (not sure if multiplier support is a mobo feature or not), at least x17 does work.

My board came with 1.3 GHz Celeron so upgraded it to Pentium-M 735 (x17) and it just works. Mine had reasonable amount of thermal paste applied from the factory, so i guess it depends on person who puts it together 😀 Changing CPU was a pain like said earlier in this thread as there is no heat spreader and I am no stranger to ruin CPUs by chipping chunks out of the core by misaligned heatsink (those old AMD Duron etc. CPUs).

Pentium-M 735 was easy and cheap to buy, anything above (745 -> x18, 755 -> x20 -> 765 -> x21) and price will jump considerably...

It is CPU dependant.
For example, 1.6Ghz Dothan Pentium-M 725 will not have x17 multiplier (100mhz x 16)
The lowest multiplier I tested was x6.

There is a jumper to set FSB bus speed to match 100Mhz or 133Mhz Pentium models.
Or it can be used to overclock\downlcock.
