Yeah it is possible to modify it, but the board may not even be able to set the multiplier anyways.

He has 3 options, 1100MHz, 1500MHz, and 1900MHz (100Mz, 133MHz and 166MHz) nothing in between.

ASUS makes good boards (i own 3), with plenty of features, thats why you have a lot of options, you built it your self (I assume) and know what you are doing, the board he has sounds like a beige box generic

it would make a wonderful file server, slap in an extra RAID card, plenty of storage opportunity.
I think this is a mute point now, unless Chris H comes back so we can get some more info on the components.
