P5VDC-X - how or can I speed step the CPU?

Hi there,

I have a P5VDC-X with a Celeron D 2.53 CPU and I'm using it in an HTPC.

Heat is a concern for me since the PC is in a cabinet.  I have the back ofthe pc sticking out of the back of the cabinet allowing the heat to disapate.

The CPU fan, however goes up to 4500 rpm and says there causing a fair bit of noise. 

I don't know too much about the capabilities of the chip/board -- does anyone know whether I can throttle this CPU back to try and reduce the heat/noise?  How would I go about this?

Thanks!
Norm
