Has anyone got the FULL range of multipliers open on their Athlon XP yet?

Example 6x,6.5x all the way through?

Not that I want to run it at 6x133, but I DO NOT want to FSB overclock cpu's EVER again (please let's not debate this, suffice to say, some of the overclockers who actually USE their system rather than just benchmark it, would like to see some stability and know their HDD data is safe)

I've heard of people getting 11.5 where previously 11 was only possible and vice versa, but no one has said they have ALL multipliers open.

Anyone?

Also anyone got 1.6(true) ghz out of a 1.33 model XP yet?

I have gotten a true 1.6 out of my AthlonXP 1800+, but that was by adding a few mhz to the FSB while keeping the PCI frequency at 33mhz. The normal multiplyer for the 1800 is 11.5, but I have not been able to go higher because of the way they dug out the L1 bridges. it is too deep to do reliably with pencil, you need conductive tape. I have also heard that those conductive pens work, but I have not tried it yet.

And no, I don't keep my FSB tweaked, I just wanted to play with it using CPUcool.
