2800 question

how overclockable are they?

They overclock similar to 2500+.
2.3 is average, more with good cooling and name brand power supply of course. They have twice as much cache as T-Breds and that may be worth as much as 100 extra MHz itself...

are they locked unlocked? if locked can they be unlocked?

I got a 2800 got it a few days ago i got it at 2255Mhz. its runing great right now when i get my new heatsink ill see what it will push and ill put up my res.

as for the locked unlocked im not sure, im still new to some things. but hanging around here for the last few months ive learned ahold. I hope that can help you a lil and goodluck

i Just read this on another tread "Bartons are locked via the microcode" so you cant unlock them
