does anyone have any tip or sugestions before i make a go at it?

Be careful, and go slow. I have heard about too many people reporting their fried XP's.

I would say drink a beer to calm the nerves! (Never mind you’re under age) Flounder's right, just take your time. :)

VERY IMPORTANT !!!
DON'T CONNECT THE BRIDGES WITH SILVER LEADING VARNISH WITHOUT ISOLATION !!!
Unlike the older ceramic processors the new Athlon XP CPUs have a copper plate below the bridges and
you would connect the bridges to ground if you "fill" silver compound into this lasercut.
The consequences would be that the CPU multiplier would set to limited values !!!

i read this in a review somewhere
does that mean when i connect the bridges i can only get the silver epoxy on the cut bridge and if i get any touching underneath it i will fry it?

ok i think i see now
you use super glue first so that you dont get any conductive silver under the bridge
then you use your conductive silver after the super glue dries.

is krazy glue the same as super glue???
