Cpu's locked

[INemtsev]

Can anyone list the cpu's from 1700+ to 3200+ and tell if they are multiplier locked or not?

Depends on your definition of locked. Palomino's don't have an adjustable multiplier unless you connect the L1 bridges... same with T-Bred A's. However, T-Bred B's and Bartons have adjustable multipliers (12.5 and below) in nForce2 motherboards. Certain nForce2 boards like the Epox 8RDA+ allow multipliers above 12.5 to be selected because they have a 5th multiplier bit.
The new Barton XP2500's, week 40 and newer, have the multiplier locked and it can't be changed no matter what motherboard you have or what you do to physically modify it.

Also, the post-week 40 T-Bred Bs are apparently also locked. They have many, many threads on this over at www.overclockers.com (as well as lists of which stepping codes are locked after each particular week), so maybe you should try over there. Not that AT isn't great, but OC forums has more people who are knowledgable about this sort of thing.
