I've been reading in a couple of places that AMD have started locking this cpu's is this true or just 1 or 2 ppl having bad experiences?

My mate swears his Barton is locked - not had a chance to look at it yet but he seems to know what he is doing albeit a completely new rig he is building.
Pin mod, wire trick, what ever you want to call it, have been reported to not work with the new Bartons.

FOR THE RECORD: I got one (XP 2500+ week 42 from 2003) and its locked....so I told my boss, Daivd, who owns and runs Hexus...
he has emailed AMD and they are looking into it.....not sure it was widely acknowledged even "in house" at AMD.
Have said it before, will say it again.......AMD have been our friends in the overclocking world for a long time. I'm sure they'll talk to us soon.

umm got my NF7-S and a AXP 2500 Week 40 though, hopefully I'll get away with it :/
oh btw that was a retail CPU from Scan, just for the record.
I was thinking about getting a 2500+ and NF7-S from http://www.cpucity.co.uk before I read this post. Now I don't know what to get!
Also, is it just me or can nobody access cpucity anymore?
webby is down at the moment, makin it more shiny i imagine
The good news is my cpu from Scan is unlocked *phew*...
