Maybe we should start a thread on best AMD processor deal since everyones saying they are locking the AMD 2500 Bartons
They were unlocked but now people are saying they are superlocked-
cant even unlock them by messing around with the CPU. Umm, the nForce2 chipset doesn't give a $hit what multiplier the CPU is set at, you can change it regardless (at least last I checked...anyone confirm?). Right when Im thinking about buying a video card and CPU seems like ATI is intent on replacing all their lower cards one by one with half pipe versions So don't but lower end...get a 9700Pro. -- "I don't cheat to survive. I cheat to LIVE!!" - Alceryes "John" wrote in message news I was thinking of getting one since they seem to be the best deal now - $85 OEM version and everyones overclocking them to 3200. They were unlocked but now people are saying they are superlocked- cant even unlock them by messing around with the CPU. Not that theres anything really bad about that and you can OC the FSB still but is one the other AMDs a better deal now? Can you still find unlocked ones guaranteed someplace? Right when Im thinking about buying a video card and CPU seems like ATI is intent on replacing all their lower cards one by one with half pipe versions and AMD is now locking the CPUs. |

That's true with older CPU, but reports have been coming in on various website forums over the weekend, that *new* Bartons are really locked, as-in, locked. This info is just coming in, likely one of the larger websites will have prompted AMD to make some statement early this week.... it could all be a hoax or user-ineptitude. Dave |
