Dawg, it's very easy to see if your chip is locked.
Go into BIOS and change your settings to give a higher clock speed (don't go nuts here, 50MHZ is enough).
Boot into windows.
Open AIDA 32 and see what clock speed it is displaying.

BTW, we have the same board...

Well, I guess the press release reason is because people were modifing lower chips, *for example a 2500+ XP, having them show up as a 3200+, and then poof&#33; selling them as 3200+&#39;s.

And dealers were getting good at this two, they would change serials on the outside as well, so you would never know it was a lower end card than what is supposdly was.

So, they lock them, so people can sell purposly overclocked cards, which you just arnt supposed to do, beacuse your not paying for a 3200+, your paying for a 2500+.

Some skeptics say other stuff though, like they locked them because of the new 64bit chips, because you can overclock a 90dollar CPU, to out perform their 800 Dollar CPU&#39;s, but thats all nonsesnse anyway. Seeing as how the 64&#39;s and the Bartons are in COMPLETLY different classes.

Btw, whats your serial say? Glad you recorded it, or atleast looked at it before you first put it in, lord knows I didnt. Heh.

Lennon: where is your 9500 pro?

Ahh, I got contacted by the guy today, He recieved my Money Order, and He Mailed off the Radeon 9500 Over the weekend, airborne exress, but it wont ship out until Monday.

Save up and get a 9800 Pro. They are like £200 now (&#036;250 or something).

How would raising my FSB 50Mhz tell me if the multiplier is locked or not?

[bigdawgfoxx]

Good news&#33;&#33;

I ran 5 rounds of all of the extreme benchmarking test of sissoft sandra 2003pro. Its called the burn in test. It ran for about 2 hours and I had NO cpu trouble at all and everything stayed fine. Everything looks good so far...

[bigdawgfoxx]

Ok, I also just went and messed with some bios settings. I changed the FSB to 185, and the multiplier to 10X. When I rebooted it just went back to default settings which are 1,100Mhz. When I went back into the bios it was still set the way I had it, just on the screen it said 1100Mhz....If possilbe, do I want my RAM to be running as high as it can go, like would it be better having it at 400Mhz and the FSB at 400Mhz. Like will the ram actually run alot faster when its at 400Mhz on benchmarks and stuff?

Ok my RAM is at 2T-2-2-5 ....which one of those should I try to lower for optimal performance?

[GCNaddict]

good fuck howd this thing end up being 30 pages long&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;

[bigdawgfoxx]

I duno..some more good news. My CPU is running at about 30C consistantly....at 1.8Ghz...thats pretty nice

[DWk]

u never told us what happened with the rest of the problems you had....
