Btw its is possible to unlock the Pal XPs but its fiddley
I had an XP1500 that topped out at 1.53GHz & an XP1600 @1.6GHz
'possible' is a strong word.
it's a major PITA.
I know I've done it ,though its much easier if you use Silicone sealant instead of superglue.

you can unlock the multiplier by bridgin something they did a laser cut on to lock the processor
do a search and you'll find a video from tom's hardware showing you how to bridge it
the chip that you got is the first amd chip i've owned and i got it to like..1650 or something with an sp97 before i upgraded to a xp-m
Stuff what that video says! ,don't bother masking & definitely dont use superglue! ,just use some Silicone sealant, smear it over all the L1 bridges in one go,then clean off excess making sure pits stayed filled.Clean off L1 dots with a pin when its dried off (24hrs)
Amaroque has a point though ,its a fair amount of hassle for not much gain.

Why don't you just raise the FSB?
If you raise the FSB won't you cause your hard drive to run faster and end up causing data errors?
lol...
hdds run at their rated speed, independent of the cpu or anything else for that matter...well if u dont count the ide cable you use or the software dma setting/capability
Yes it can cause data corruption!, because the PCI bus & thus IDE channels are overclocked.Though usually your ok to about 37MHz ,going beyond 39-40MHz is risky but possible.
145MHz FSB will give you 36.25MHz PCI ,you will more than likely be ok at this modest speed
but it is still remotely possible that you could suffer data corruption.
