Are you sure that the board is an ASUS? Every Compaq I've seen uses propriety boards and bios.
Often Compaqs and HPs and such use ASUS or MSI boards however they are heavily modified (read: crippled) from the original design and the BIOS is rewritten to tailor to that board ... it seems Compaq/HP use MSI boards and Dells often use ASUS ones.

I'm not very familiar with AMD multipliers but I think they are locked, so to OC or underclock you'd have to raise/lower bus speed or voltages
With the exception of the overpriced FX line, AMD chips are indeed half-locked.
