1.33 and 1.4 CPU's

[Tacoman667]

Do all the 1.33's and 1.4's come factory unlocked now? I was wondering because I just bought a 1.33/266 from newegg.com. I am going blind here but since they have been selling out alot lately, I think I have a pretty good chance of landing an AXIA Y or a new AYHJA Y. I just want to know if I can expect it to be unlocked when I recieve it. Thanks for the info!

i know this doesn't have anythign to do with what you are asking but what is the difference between the AXIA and the other T-Birds and how can you find out what you have?

The small "slug" on the top of the CPU will have 3 lines of alpha numeric text. My 1gig says:
A1000AMT3C
AXIA0115APAW
94953150181

The AXIA is the stepping and the AYHJA is what it would say in the place that AXIA is at. AXIA's are excellent overclockers and the AYHJA's are supposed to be better then the AXIA's. The first letter/number in the 3rd line is also in a way, a part of the stepping. Mine has a number (9) there but the "creame of the crop" AXIA's are the ones with the Y as the first letter in the 3rd line. Don't get me wrong, my 1gig has gotten me all the way to 1.47gigs stable at a certain configuration, but I feel the 1.33gig wil get me further since I have maxed out my vcore already.
