Need help modding a BIOS. . .

Currently, I'm running an Athlon XP 2500 Mobile processor on a Shuttle MN31N (which is a Mini-ITX board). My problem is that I cannot change the multiplier; it just defaults to 6.0. There is no multiplier option in the BIOS (oddly, I can change the FSB though). I tried to use CrystalCPU, but my system just crashes when I try to make a change. Is there any way to mod the BIOS to enable a multiplier change? And if so, how? Also, it would be nice to get some voltage options as well. I'm assuming this is possible, but I have never really looked into it before. If it helps any, the board uses an nForce 2 IGP + MCP-T for the motherboard chipset. I'm not sure how much of a problem it could be on a Mini-ITX board, but I'm assuming I should at least be able to push it to its regular speed without a problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
