Since when are the Barton 2500+'s multiplier locked? Do you mean that you can't change the multiplier in BIOS? When did this happen? That's freakin horrible if it's true. Some PCs (mainly depending on the RAM) won't accept high FSB changes. My old PC with the Barton (before it was locked!!) let me change the multiplier with ease. If I raised the FSB too high, my RAM wouldn't allow it, and I actually lost performance. The multipliers were EXTREMELY important in getting the best performance.
Does it matter which motherboard you have, or are the new Bartons locked on all systems?
