Every part can run at 150. IMHO, all recent

Screwdriver, he's asking at which step the multiplier is locked. That's not a marketing step, it's a manufacturing step, otherwise the customer could unlock and change it. If you know of a way to do this please post it here cause I'd like to change the multiplier on a couple of chips I have at home.
