Raising CPU multiplier does nothing...

[d2arcturus]

cpu in sig, as you can see its at 200fsb (11x200)
i tried raising the multiplier to 12 and then 11.5, but amdcpuid and dxdiag still show the processor running at 2000mhz..whats going on?

Your Barton is probably one of the locked ones. IIRC, AMD started locking them around the last part of 2003. To get unlocked multipliers now, you need a mobile.

bah... well thanks anyway

actually..is there anyway to unlock it?

just o/c the FSB

The later ones IIRC are irreversibly locked. I doubt you'll get more than the standard 200x11 anyway, though.
