I keep reading that the nVidia chipsets unlock the CPU for you. I have the Asus A7N8X and in the BIOS it will let me change the multiplier but when I start it up and run WCPUID it says the multiplier is still 13. When i go back into the bios after restart it does say whatever number I upped it to as being the setting...

Yes the documentation that comes with nForce2 mobos only mentions Thoroughbreds of being able to have their multipliers force changed and I havn't tried a Palamino yet in one to find out for sure. ;)
The difference between the two core types is easy as Palaminos have their details etched to the core while Thoroughbreds have theirs on a sticker attached to the CPU's base. :)

If you can see well enough between the HSF and the base to see no black sticker near the edge then yes you have a Palamino cored one. :(
All XP2200+'s and above are Thoroughbreds (though those 2400+ and above are B revisions) but recents purchases of lower speed XP's may find Thoroughbred A and B cores (B's have a squarer lookin' core to the A's very rectangular one). ;)
