Identifying my AXP

[xSnowblindx]

In my BIOS I have been successful with changing my FSB, and multiplier. I got the computer around last Christmas. So my question is is it unlocked? How can I tell if it was one of the unlocked AXPs? I have CPU-Z if that'll help anyone.

And is there any advantage from a mobile Barton over a non mobile unlocked?

If you can change the multiplier it's unlocked, if you can't change the multiplier it's locked. Having one with unlocked multipliers basicly just gives you more options for overclocking.

mobile bartons run at a lower default voltage and are selected especially for that reason.. thus they are the cream of the crop out of the desktop chips

Even the locked ones can change FSB. If you can't change that setting then the CPU is not the problem. Only the multiplier is locked. What's the rest of your system like?

Mobile Barton is with higher quality, lower default voltage & power saving feature.

Non Mobile Barton unlocked is able to change the multiplier and have more options for overclocking, but still without the advantages of Mobile Barton at above.
