A7N8X-CPU UNLOCKED

[t8ar]

"One advantage that many of the KT400 motherboards have over the nForce2 motherboards is the ability to change the multiplier of an Athlon XP processor without having to modify the CPU at all – this is something that doesn’t exist on the nForce2 chipset that I can see. (If you want to see more on that feature of the KT400 chipset, see my KT400 roundup.)" "Update: I have gotten a few emails saying that the A7N8X does in fact unlock the processors like the KT400 motherboards do. I am in the process of updating my bios and testing this out. Thanks to those who wrote in!"

The above is from an article on the A7N8X by Ryan Shrout on amdmb.com that was last updated 26DEC2002

WHAT IS THE CORRECT STORY????????????????

I didn't have to ground anything on my XP 2400 and the multiplier is unlocked (a7v8x). Is it just pre-tbred CPUs that need the pin grounded?
