What kinda system you got with the 2400 xp?.....ie memory,video,ect.

One way is to see if you can is to raise or lower the multiplier in the bios.But you will get better performance though if you raise the FSB.

If your BIOS don't support multiplier get a new MB! If you bought your CPU before late 2003, it will not be locked. If you just bought it, it'S probably locked.

By the way, why do you want to know if your CPU is locked or not? And NO, I don't know any program that can tell lock or not!
