Well, more likely somewhat unlocked with the Barton 2500. I have a lowly MSI motherboard and Barton 2500 and even with board and RAM limits I am running CPU at 2070 GHz true very close to 24\7 and have been for over a month. Temp stable, neat CPU.
If only for show, then do not bother with Intel. AMD for speed for price, for now. As your interests change, you might want something more robust.

Neat CPU? That is what I call an understatement.
Can you post some benchmarks for us to see?
What kind of cooling are you using?
Is it a locked Barton, if it is what memory are you using?
Hats off for a great OC.
This is the same setup I am looking at. Ageek, out with it, how did you do it? Lets see those benchies... Also, how do you know if it is locked or unlocked? If it is locked, how can it be unlocked? Is it that super glue and tape thing? Does the NF7-S 2.0 refer to the bios or the board itself?
The processor is "super"locked if it is produced after week 39 2003.
It's pretty hard if not impossible to unlock.
nForce2 doesn't autounlock these CPU's.

I bet that folds pretty well.
