360RamGuy01 Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 (edited) I have a locked 2500+ barton but in my bios it still lets me change the multiplier though, it will boot if I change the multiplyer to 11.5 or 12 but not anything higher or lower, when I look at my system information it still says 2200mhz so I guess changing the multiplier has no effect right?

Whitelightning Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 If the chip is locked then your multiplier will not change. Get a mobile 2500+ ....there unlocked....mine is in the mail and my locked 2500+ is on ebay!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
360RamGuy01 Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 I'm gonna hold on to this chip until I have enough money for a 64 bit processor, and a mobo that has a pci-express slot (when they come out) , I'm about to spend 145 bucks before shipping on a chieftech case, 4 led smartfans and a nexus fan controller so i wouldn't have any money for a mobile chip anyways Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowPaktu Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 errr, if yer chip is locked then you can still change the multiplier look at pentiums, the multiplier is just the interface which site betwee nthe actuall chip and the board. the 'locked' means you just cant change the fsb, but if you only want to oc you processor then there little drawback from multi oc'ing (note, little*) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vampire Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 What do you mean you cant change your FSB?? of course you can, but you cant change the multi (as far as I know..) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Some_Guy_ Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 What do you mean you cant change your FSB?? of course you can, but you cant change the multi (as far as I know..) Yeah, that's how Intels are. Multi. locked since the MMX days (or somewhere around there). FSB is the only way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick_fourdumbkids Posted April 1, 2004 Posted April 1, 2004 FSB is the only way to go. move over to AMD and the mobile becomes the only way to go man i love them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackRussell Posted April 4, 2004 Posted April 4, 2004 i have a little question about multipliers, what are they,? are they just imaginary numbers plucked out of the air which make you cpu LOOK faster? multi is the number of cpu cycles per clock "tick" imagine a Viking rowing vessel. The drummer is clock speed, number of rowers is the multi... sort of a stretch but gives the picture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
