    You can still overclock the FSB, the multiplier, however, is locked.

    I don't for sure, but they should be able to still hit 2.2Ghz.. at least.

    My multiplier isn't locked, at least I can change it in my mobo bios.

    Yup, pretty everything from week 39 of 2003 and on are locked on all XP chips, not just the 2500+.
