AMD 64 FX unlocked?

It seems as if the Athlon 64 is shipping with its multiplier locked (how difficult/possible it is to unlock, we will have to wait and see), while the Athlon 64 FX ships with an unlocked multiplier. This unlocked multiplier is actually the number one request I received when I posted about the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition, so it's interesting that AMD would actually have the foresight to include such a feature without first being asked - AMD may not have lost touch with the community after all.

Overclocking the CPU by simply raising the multiplier does not always yield very good results. But in case of the Athlon 64 this does not seem to be the case, and nVentive's Micro Freezer Technology (MFT) makes it quite flexible in terms of CPU upgrades.

When working with this system, a few interesting facts popped up. The system was actually running at 14 x 200 MHz, and could be set at multipliers ranging from 4 (800 MHz) to 14 (2.8 GHz). All AMD Athlon 64 FX are de facto unlocked and it seems that the maximum multiplier for this stepping is 14.

The only thing from stopping you from overclocking with the multiplier seems to be the BIOS. The ASUS SK8N inside the nVENTIV Mach II featured a special ASUS bios that allowed us to change the CPU core voltage and multiplier

lol, δε πειράζει το PCI Express θα μας έρθει καλοκαιράκι. :D

Kαι μια είδηση περί Intel. Aπ ότι φαίνεται τα παιδιά την κάναν την γκάφα τους, Oι ΕΕ που κυκλοφορούν αυτή την στιγμή στην αγορά είναι έτοιμοι και για Multiprocessing!!!!!, είδες τι κάνει ο άνθρωπος πάνω στον πανικό του :p
