Phenom 9500 w/ MSI K9A2 Platinum

[KTE]

Hope it is not included with XP SP3. Anyone tried the test versions of SP3 to check this out?

Nope. SP3 is better and quicker than SP2. I've used both.
Vista was known to be messed up this way even though Microsoft did not state anything as such in their logs. We need initiatives where they are fined if they withhold such information we can clarify.

hmmm updated my bios to p0h, had the 9500 phenom how come the multiplier seems unlocked up to x25 multi?!? can i use that for OC? thought 9500 is locked to x13 multi..

Options or if chosen doesn't mean it works. It just doesn't change multi's above max multi the CPU can run which are: 11x CPU, 9x NB, 9x HT for yours.
