If you unlock it then you'll need the board to support whichever >multiplier you're wanting to go up/down to. Well, I know for a fact the max multiplier on the Tyan S2460 is 15x. So you can scratch running a 2600 in it. I contacted Asus as well, but their support sucks, so I will be lucky to get a response at all. But that's all I was saying. Some of the more "popular" boards, might not support a 16x multiplier.
