No, but it won't run any faster than a 2500+, which is cheaper, and easier
to install. Both would need a multiplier mod.

As long as it's a pre week 0339, which shouldn't be internally locked,
then you can get full speed and more. Any 0339 and later are multiplier
locked internally, and there's no way to unlock them. You can mod them to
mobile units, but it's not a solution I would take when Unlocked ones are
still availible and there are other alternatives.

Save $50 and get a 2500+ or 2600+. It won't make any difference.
