Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

This trick won't work, neither will putting it in an nForce II Ultra mobo, these CPU's are hard locked at the factory.

There's an unlocking kit you can get for 12 dollars:

I cannot find a conductive pen + non conductive filler for less than 10 bucks so I consider this a good deal. It comes with everything you need to unlock. You should make sure you can unlock this cpu.
I've got an unlocked Barton 2500+ I bought in June of 2003. It's a great CPU. I got up to 2350mhz on air-cooling. Now it's sitting in the closet, since I went to A64.tommo said:Yeah, make sure you read that, but also find out how old your CPU is. It's abbrievated in code on the black label on your cpu. Write it in your thread if you care to, someone will tell you if you're out of luck.. or not.

It's still possible to change the multiplier on the hard locked processors, as long as you're willing to do extensive bridge modifications. I have a hard locked Applebred Duron that I converted to a mobile processor, then increased the maximum multiplier (L3s govern startup multiplier, L6s govern maximum multiplier, http://fab51.com/cpu/barton/athlon-e23.html this site is a good place to start). Once modified, I was able to change the multiplier through software in Windows using CPUMSR and CrystalCPUID (only one needed).
I used a sharp push pin to cut the bridges, and a rear window defogger repair kit to reconnect cut bridges. It now runs at 2.3ghz.

or just buy a mobile and re-sell the desktop for like $10 less, avoiding all that hastle was worth the $10 to me
haha, good info though

Yup, getting a mobile isn't a bad idea at all. I did it primarily because I wanted a fast, cheap chip, and 38$ was a great price.
