XP unlocking question

[mrsteel74]

Just curious but is it possible to unlock a Athlon XP CPU the same way you can unlock a T-Bred CPU with just one bridge? Just had to ask.

Nope its got to be all 5. Sorry.

Ah well I just had to ask, I tried to unlock my XP in the past but I can't seem to get it done. My hands are a bit to big to keep them steady in such a small area. Also one more question I wanted to ask I read somewhere that if you just connect the L1 bridges on a XP without filling the gaps you could adjust the multiplier above the stock multiplier of the CPU but not below it. So for example if I penciled in the Li Bridges on a XP 1800+ I would be able to go higher than 11.5 but not below. Like I said I forgot what unlocking article I read it in but I was just curious if this was true.

Nope, mistaken again. If you do not fill in the pits you run the chance of wrecking the cpu. Sorry there is no easy way around this one.

Unlocking trick that I read here a few weeks ago and works great: use one strand of copper electrical wire as a "paintbrush" to connect the bridges(with defogger kit.)

Easiest unlocks I've done on XPs.
