Which makes sense, but can't handle some of the protected iPentium parts.
They can not be overclocked -- and neither can they be underclocked (if a
particular protection mechanism out of several ones is used). So, what is
the board doing about them? They would not boot at all at the wrong clock
speed -- so detecting the CPU type isn't possible.
