Is this locked on not?

I just purchased a 2600+ Barton with the following numbers

AXDA2600DKV4D Y880877251090
AQZFA 0337TPAW

Are these locked? Does anyone know how good this will overclock? I found a store in Orlando, FL that has 5 or 6 of these (no 2500+ prior to week 39) in retail box with with Fan and a 3 years Warranty.

What is the condition of the L1 bridges?

Its stock, I just pulled out of the retail box. I was wondering if some one could tell by the stepping code if its a locked.

Most likely not, I don't think they started locking them until week 39, but there are exceptions to every rule and I've been known to be wrong (on very rare occasions)

possibly not.. if you bought the first one to use, pop it in, change the multiplier and see what happens

If they allow you to look at them, inspect the L1 bridges. All should have a lazer cut thru them if the processor is unlocked (bridges are cut).

This sucks. Its locked. Now I have to go out and but some DDR3200. Are these locked processor modable?
