its supposed to be locked... only EE (as b1gapl said) are unlocked.. but those are atleast 900$ and up....

then how come I can change my multiplier. It's got a few options from like 2.00 to 4.00+ and I can change a cpu ratio from 6X to 8X. I got mine (e6400 2.13Ghz) to 3.47Ghz.

Its sucks when you expected least a 3.6 Ghz one..

OK,
The Mobo isn'tthe best, BUT I didn't have the money to gostraight in and get transfered to a Core 2 Duo with upgrading DDR AGP PSU ect. So got the 4-Core VSTA so I could still use AGP DDR untill I could get PCI-E DDR2. So the next Q. is what would be a good Mobo for around £100 Heard good things about Asus P5*** boards.

The RAM was either 533/667Mhz I thnk. With regards to the RAM increasing Ihave the option to to fix the PCIE/ PCI Buses, comes up with Sync/Async fsome reason and I fix them both to 100 / 33.3Mhz.

Still Gutted about the ATI Issue though,
Thanks fo replies,
