Ok, I've been getting mixed info about my sempron 2400 regarding
unlocking multipliers. Some sites say that it can be done ala
thoroughbred b core procedure, other sites say it's superlocked so only
fsb overclocking can be done. Could someone please clarify? Preferably
someone that has multi's unlocked?

FSB option isn't too good for me, as this cpu will not tolerate a 200mhz
fsb (limited options on my a7v400-mx are 100,133,166,200 via dip
switches). I have unlocked my previous xp 2000 and it worked great until
I fried it, so I know that I can use multi via cpumsr.

TIA.

Alright, now my next problem... I can't adjust multipliers through bios
(a7v400-mx has no option for that, or vcore, or fsb -dipswitches for
fsb-) I've used cpumsr for winxp, but since then, I've switched over
completely to linux. Is there any util like cpumsr for linux? If there
is a program included in mandrake 10.1 I apologize, I'm still a newb to
linux.

TIA.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

sorry joe, I'm also a linux noobster so I can't help you, but maybe Wes
can, he doesn't even use M$windows. Maybe this site will help you:

Mdk 10.1 has powernow-k7 with it, but I've never bought a K7 cpu that I
had to change to a moble to raise the speed, so I've never used it. I do
use powernow-k8 and it works fine with my A64. However I think he can just
change the default powerup multiplier on the cpu and have it set to a
fixed multiplier. It's explained here I think. L5 and L6.

The moral to this story is real simple. Don't buy a socket A Sempron. See
Sempron in link below.
