What "trick" are you talking about? I know that the Albatron board can change multipliers on Tbreds. It cannot span multiplier ranges (as in you'll either get 12.5 and down, or 13 and above depending on your CPU) but neither can my Nforce2 Epox board. There's a wire trick to get a high multiplier CPU working with low multipliers, but I don't know if the opposite is available. Palaminos will be locked unless you connect the bridges.
