When I read about this the first time, it was still a developing art. It should be pretty defined by now, so does anybody have a guide?

Seems eazy, might test itIf there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

There's an intriguing reference to BIOSs that allow unlocking of mulitpliers - anyone know which boards they are for?

T-bred B´s (2400+ upwards) will be fully unlocked with most of nforce2 boards, without need for the wire trick. At least Epox, Abit, Soltet do it. Asus does have some troubles - sometimes it does, sometime it doesn´t, don´t know if they already fixed it with a bios release.

Multiplier locking is a physical thing on the chips traces, that's why the wire trick work.
I can't really see how that could be changed in bios, and besides IF there was posible to do through BIOS se'd seen tons of hacked bios'esIf there's artificial intelligence, there's bound to be some artificial stupidity.

Unlocking the Athlon XP (Thoroughbred A, Thoroughbred B,, and Barton core)
If you are an owner of any recent motherboard (All Epox Nforce2 boards included) you do not need to unlock your Thoroughbred or Barton processor. This is done automatically through a software trick built into board. If you look carefully, you can see that the L1 traces on these chips are already connected! (via the green traces seen below).
