RE: "Intel is disappointing me"

[error_911]

I'm just asking in regards to Copenhagen's statement that "the XP2400+'s comes with unlocked multipliers".. true ? I mean, in my case, an MSI KT3Ultra only supports up to a 16x multiplyer anyways, so the "unlocked" multiplyer is useless anyways, or on the other hand its not unlocked, because thats the multiplyer needed anyways, and therefore its standard... right ?

According to Anandtech, the Tbred Bs XP2400+ and XP2600+ are able to be unlocked when used on the nForce 2 mainboards. Some have reported that even on the KT4s.
However no other AthlonXPs are able to unlock without the unlocking kit or pin trick.

Well my Asus A7N8X (nForce2) does <b>NOT</b> allow me to unlock the CPU with the standard 1001.C bios. I would just love to get my hands on a BIOS which would let me unlock the CPU. I've heard the claim that a so called 1003 BIOS is able to do this, but so far I've seen no evidence of it.

I think an e-mail to Anandtech might be in need.
