I have read alot of threads about unlocking 2200's by just joining the last bridge on L3( going around the pit with defogger paint). Has any brave souls tried this method on the 2100? Please post your results.

Believe a few "???????" souls have tried, suckered by the "apparent commonality" of "L3" but.........

Palomino and Tbred have completely "different Multiplier bridge configurations. The Palomino 2100 equivalent to the Tbred 2200 5th L3 mod is to reverse the 2 L10 bridges from open/closed to closed/open. You also have to close the 5 L1s on the 2100, as they are not closed like on the 2200.

Details at http://www.beachlink.com/candjac/index.htm link to Tbred article for section comparing the 2 "workarounds"...and Understanding Multiplier Code article for a marked up composite pic of all Socket A CPUs and their Multiplier related bridges. Suggest to print/save.
