Say it ain't so Joe! But it is being reported on the OCForums that new Barton core CPUs from AMD are in fact multiplier locked. We will try and get something official from AMD on Monday. Thanks RMS.
However, note that AMD is still leaving die-hard overclockers an escape path; the FX-5x. You now have to pay dearly to enjoy the luxury of an unlocked multiplier, but it is an open option.
