    No Intel processors other than Engineering Sample, or Extreme series have multiplier unlocked.

    Engineering samples no longer have unlocked multis if they are a non-extreme edition

    Thanks for the correction. Haven't played with non-Extreme ES processors lately.

    Well, we have a few Core 2 ES processors here. They are all locked. So I think they started doing it for the entire Core 2 series.

    I haven't found a way but there must be. There are extreme series CPU's similar to the others in almost every aspect except unlocked multiplier. This is not in the die its in the firmware :think:

    Generally, if you buy retail PCs, they will not give you an ES processor. ES processors will not come with any warranty paperwork.

    Well, except for the QX and X series, all Core 2 processors are hard-locked. AFAIK, you cannot unlock them... :(
