AXIA is the stepping of the CPU...
it is printed on the second line on the core of the socket A CPU's
The AXIA is a core that will do 1.5 GHz most of the time some do more ,some less....

You have to get a goldfinger card to unlock your cpu.
when you take the cpu out of the plastic casing you will notice that thier is a connector for something to attch to on the CPU's PCB. That is were the goldfinger is put.

You wont find the AXIA code on the old slot Athlons only the Socket A types..and you can only use the GFDs on slot Athlons. Check this out for a good review on eight GFDs.
