Unlocking an XP2100+

[Larry Quinn]

I plan on ordering an XP2100+ this week.

I've decided to wait for the T-Bred to "Mature" a bit before jumping on that bandwagon.

I will be unlocking the 2100+ as soon as it hits my desk..(Naturally)

Is this beast the same as the previous XP's..??

I mean..are the L1's the only bridges to gap??

Are there any others that may look to limit my top clock speed???

Thanks
Larry

I've heard that they are harder to unlock if i were you i would do some extra research better to be safe than sorry.

Do let us know how it goes. It appears to be a little more difficult but can still be done.

ffs man thats a lot of work.. does this mean its going to be almost impossible for the regular joe blow to unlock there new AMD? are we forced to ocing by FSB only? will this be the end of multi ocing? will timmy ever get his eyesight back? is the earth square? did bill gates really make windows???

The oc'er will succeed, they just have to come down (alot) in price before I give it a go. This is also the first unlock. Wait awhile and others will come up with ideas as well. Who knows, there may end up being an easier method. Figure right now the only "hairy" part is the cutting.

wow just took a look at that article and that is quite the good amount of work to unlock. But, if i had a 2100 then i bet you i would do it in no time . Good luck to all try and please post any results because i know all of us at overclockers would appreciate that info

AMD is blowing off their reputation by locking their processors, whos gonna buy a athlon xp 2000 while having a P4 2.0A for 180 bucks in may?

Question remains....

With the method the 2100+ is locked..
does it preclude any LOWER multiplyers?

I mean...if it's locked to 13X...or some such..
does that mean the MAX multiplyer is 13 but any setting under 13 is wide open to selection??

I'd prefer to run 165 FSB *11.5 anyway!

I believe that 133 * 13 is where the chip was supposed to run...

Are LOWER multiplyers also locked out??

I've read some forums on this..and have not gotten a solid answer!

Thanks
Larry

It is my understanding after reading the article that unlocking it makes the lower multipliers available. This of course is beneficial.
