I received a different info from Soyo:
-----------------------------------------------
der Barton wird vom K7V Dragon Plus auch mit dem neuesten BIOS nicht
unterstützt. Eine Modifizierung ergibt ebenfalls keine Barton-Unterstützung,
sondern lediglich die Unterstützung von Thoroughbred-CPUs bis 2400+
(FSB266). Das Mainboard ist nicht FSB333-fähig
-----------------------------------------------

They say that it will work with the Thoroughbred up to 2400+ and NOT.
However, I am not sure whether this can be done with the new BIOS 2ba8 only
or whether the MoBo has to be modified by Soyo as well and I did not bother
to ask them for clarification.

Some Boards produced behind the middle 2002 will
the other boards can be modified by Soyo (in GER you
get an RMa and they fix it without any costs, just pay
your own shipping to Soyo) or you can try by yourself,
search wth. Google for modification caps

I`m using the XP 2200+ Thourougbr. B, there was a Posting a few days
ago from another guy using the 2400+ (266 FSB not the new 333)

Here is the post of one guy (i think it's Steve), which did some
experimants:

After reading previous posts here, thought I'd give the C130/ELC28
modification a try.

Got a $43 Thoroughbred 1700+ from NewEgg and a $0.75 1000uFd capacitor
from the local electronics shop.

After removing C130, and adding ELC28, the new Thoroughbred booted
just fine, and since the 1700 is unlocked, access to multipliers 6x
thru 12x allowed overclocking to 1600 MHz. Bumping the FSB to 145MHz
allowed 1740MHz.

Next I removed the Heatsink and Cut the 4th and 5th bridge on L3, and
the system booted to 2000MHz, with 1.6 vcore, and access to
multipliers 13x and up!

The best this K7V+ has done with the 1700+ is 2150MHz with a 1.75
vcore. Finished 3DMark2001, and seems stable. Maybe could go
further...

Not too shabby!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
