I bought a Duron here in the Netherlands which is indeed locked (I believe one of the first actually sighted). We've also figured out a way to remove the lock, so after doing that you can use the thing on an A7V with dipswitches again. We didn't have an A7V, so we modified our Gigabyte micro-ATX to be able to set the multiplier. A full account can be found here. Removing the lock in this way will almost certainly make you unable to turn it in for warranty servicing, so you anti-overclocking zealots can rest easy as well. Jasper Janssen
---- of course, most any geek is going to either not pick up the mail from his or her foo@freewhatever.com account or procmail it out of existance, but not if the means of getting ads is also the only place where service changes and outages are announced.:) better yet, send mails along the lines of "respond to this message within 48 hours, or your account will be automatically suspended." ----

That's what procmail and perl is for.
