Can anyone show me some pics of the multiplier bridges? I have a 1700+ comming and wish to know how to unlock this puppy before she comes in.

By the way, I've been gone alot due to me being in the Army and recent events. I just want to shout out to all my friends on here, WASSAP?!? =)

The Athlon XP apparently has five L1 bridges which are slightly under the ceramic surface of the CPU on some processors which makes unlocking them a little harder, apparently you now have to sand the surface of the CPU to reach the bridges and then they can be connected in the same manner as usual (defogger kit, conductive pen etc) see the front of overclockers.com for details on how to unlock a CPU
