Crazy: From all accounts.. Durons are much easier to Overclock then T-birds are.. the only explanation I've seen so far for this is on Aces hardware where someone made the assertion that this was due to the larger cache T-bird had on-die.. I think also stated was T-bird took more juice then the Duron did and so couldnt be pushed as far. As for locking and unlocking.. I unfortunately believe mine is locked.. as I followed the Insane Hardware instructions on setting up the dipswitches to the letter and still only got a 600 Mhz boot.. the fella I wrote to down there seems to think this indicates a locked CPU.. and I'm not in any particular hurry to try and take the heat sink and fan off of the Duron and start marking pencil lines on the bridges just to speed it up when it works fine already:)Maybe in a year when warranty runs out Regards
