are they unlocked, or can they be unlocked?

i ask this, cause i can run it stable at 1.3V, so it must have some headroom at 1.5V
 
pardon my ignorance but whats the thorton? Mix between thouroghsbred and Barton? Kind of sounds like that to me.. oh well 🙂
 
is the .13 duron, chances are the cache didn't work in a barton or thoroughbred so they badged it as a thorton (128kb l2 cache)

its very fast for a $38 processor
 
locked. it has 256k of on die cache activated but you can mod it to have 512k. its basically a first gen barton but it has slightly different pipelines. consider it a first revision barton 🙂

ts not a duron. it was made for athlon xp 2000-2400+

If it was made after about week 36 of last year, it's probably locked. I got one up to about 2.4GHz on 1.8V and crappy cooling (stock AMD cooler from an old XP 2000+ and a slightly quieter, more powerful fan).
 
Yes they overclock very well,I got one here in my little server box that does 2ghz on default voltage 1.5v.

easy OC , just up the fsb from 133 to 166. 😉

looks like just a bridge needs to be connected to activate all the cache

it's a lot smaller & harder than it looks,I tried on mine but I could not enable the extra cache.
 
ok so its not unlocked, there were multiplyer adjustments in the bios, i switched it lower, and the computer didn't like it and still botted at 1600mhz

is there a way to unlock these? i know on my other xp, i filled in the pits on the L2? bridges (can't remeber, my barton i have now is unlocked) or is there a cheap adapter that will let me do this, i remeber a while back that tomshardware reviews an axp unocking socket.
