Do you guys think AMD is working on figuring out a way to lock down the mobile 2500's? Or is it theoretically impossible because of the powernow! feature?

They could lock them if they wanted too as the CPU doesn't have to be unlocked to use powernow! features like has been proven by people who turned their locked bartons into mobile chips and could then change multiplier from windows

Also, is the mobile 2500 a new product? All of a sudden I'm hearing about mobile 2500's everywhere.
