Was doing my usuall search for something to waste my money on around the net and found this at Sidewinder.

I looks to be a normal unlocking strip like always but they say it works on Bartons too! This may be old news to some but I didn't know so I thought I'd throw it out here in case someone needs it. Its a little pricey though.

Haha they actually sell these things.
I think you should wait like a month, then people are gonna pop up some ideas.
Anyway that seems correct, if it unlocks both cpus, maybe the pld ways to unlock the t-breds are also good to unlock the bartons.

The strip looks to be doing the same as the wire tricks...

All Thoroughbreds and original Bartons were unlocked. The purpose of that product is to change the multiplier range of an already factory unlocked processor by connecting pins, not, as it misleading states, to unlock them. This strip has been thought of before, and as expected, did absolutely nothing to one of the new Bartons.
