CPU Multipliers

I have a MSI K7N2 Platinum board with an AMD XP 3000+ (Barton core, 333 fsb).
I noticed that with my old CPU and mobo (XP 2100+ and Soyo K7VEM Pro) and this new set that I can not increase the multiplier above 13. On my mothers system, which is a Soyo KT 400 Dragon Ultra board with XP 2100+ cpu, I can bring the multiplier to at least 15 (thats what I have it at now), possibly more, I haven't looked at it for well over a year.
Is it my cpu or my motherboard that is limiting my multiplier options? And is there any way to get around that?

I am pretty sure this is due to the cpu. In most cases the xp 2100+ has open mutipliers up while the xp 3000+ mutipliers are locked upward. Locked mean you can not increase it over the default.
 
I had read before something about "paiting" where you cut some bridges and connect others to unlock the multipliers. anyone know of an article or something where i can read up on it for my specific cpu?
 
There was a wire mod for the early Bartons that were already factory unlocked. It was used to release the multipliers below 13.0x. It dont think it will work on a "new" Barton that is "super-locked"

It could be the same as the Thoroughbreds in which i think you connected the Fifth L3 trace. Personally I dont think this is an easy task.
