The stepping on the die a AQYFA 0340 MPMW 99% chance it is locked. Only way to tell for sure is to try and raise the multiplier and see if it works. -- Abit KT7-Raid (KT133) Tbred B core CPU @2400MHz (24x100FSB) http://mysite.verizon.net/res0exft/cpu.html |

well its a week 40 my impression is its bound to be locked only like pre
week 33s are most likely unlocked. On Fri, 13 Feb 2004 11:42:33 -0000, "Heckler ²°°³" wrote: :Hi guys, just got a replacement 2500 after my MB failed and fried the CPU :along with it.

Started raising the FSB, got up to 11x182 ok, but running sisoft sandra the machine rebooted. Might need to raise the voltages a little. Alos I bought some more PC3200 yesterday, so I'd have 1gb and can use the dual channel mode... but one dimm is dual sided and the other single sided.. does that mean they're not gonna work in dual channel properly? I've relaxed the timings to 8-3-3 cas 3.0 just in case. H |
