If you have, did you manage to get it up to stock speeds? If so, care to tell me how?

For everyone else, I've purchased a mobile Athlon 2600+ and an Aopen AK79D-400VN motherboard in a cheap attempt to go for a very low powered system that I can keep on at all times.

The problem is that the motherboard doesn't want to set the multiplier properly. Instead of operating at 2GHz, it wants it clocked at 800MHz. This works great for the low powered aspect, but I'd like to be able to bring it up to full speed when necessary, and so far, all my efforts have failed. So, I'm open to any suggestions at this point.

Thank you,
