Does anyone have a link to the site where you can change the default multiplier by connecting certain bridges?, My mobo has no multiplier options or fsb

No jumpers either? If you can't change even the front side bus I would suggest upgrading your motherboard. If you are using the older Duron then you connect the "level 1" bridges with a pencil. The graphite is conductive and allows you to change the multiplier.

Apparently you aren't trying to undrstand the question. I was asking how to change the default multiplier, not how to unlock the multiplier

Ok. Now I understand. From what I have seen I don't think that's possible but I will see what I can find out.

This might help. I found an old article that shows what most the the bridges mean on Toms Hardware. Hope this helps:
Athlon Guide (http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/00q3/000711/index.html)
You'll find the answer here.

Depending on your chip and what multiplier you want to achieve you might have to cut a bridge which is not that easy.
