I'm not sure if I'm going to do it anyway, but I know there's a pin on
the 2000+ that you can cut to unlock the CPU's multiplier, which one is
it? Thanks.

There is no such pin. Which core 2000+ do you have, Palomino, Tbred A,
or Tbred B? What MB do you have? What are you trying to do?

It's a Thoroughbred b

What can you tell me? I did re-set the board, so the cpu has to be locked
if it stays @ 12.5x & no higher.
Denny. :-) Always with a smile, even if times are bad.

I think in your first post you were referring to changing the 5th bit of the
multiplier... this is done usually with a pin mod these days... it DOES NOT
UNLOCK the CPU, it only changes the 5th bit on an UNLOCKED CPU when the
motherboard does not ahve the ability to do so (many can only change the
first 4 bits of the multiplier).

You may have been confusing this with some of the older Athlon CPUs that
were locked - they could be unlocked by cutting bridges on the top of the
chip. New (ish) locked Athlon XPs (week 34 or thereabouts) cannot be
unlocked using this method.
