New Palomino Unlock Method?

Ghost68 · Jan 11, 2003

ok i know you can change the default voltage of a t-bread processor by wire wrapping... as seen here

and you can do the L3 trick by wire wrapping here

now my question is what pins do we connect to short the 5 L1 bridges on a palomino processor???

i want to know because imho wire wrapping is MUCH easier than painting the bridges... im upgrading my sisters computer with my old palomino XP1600+ and i could easily unlock the processor by wire wrapping... i need to unlock it because they have sdram and its crap for overclocking so my only option is upping the multiplier to overclock...

I asked this question sometime ago and unfortunately I dont think there is any simple way to do wire wrapping to connect the L1's

You might find some information regarding this at this Website. I have not read it all, but there seems to be a lot information regarding the multiplier on the Palomino XP.

thats interesting....
closing the uppermost l2 bridge increases the durons cashe from 64 to 256k. i never knew that

juliendogg · Jan 11, 2003

i do wonder if that is just for the mobile duron as referred to or if it works on a regular old duron too.. hmmm, definately interesting. i may have to give it a shot...

Hrmmmm.....really....I wonder if this causes any adverse affects, or if its free cache...

There was another post about the Duron cache and somebody said that the L2 trick only works for the mobile duron's. I have no idea though since I've never even used a comp that had a duron in it.

ok heres what i have figured out so far...

(facing into the socket )
the Green "NC" Pins are the L1 bridges
the Blue Pins "VSS" are the grounds (or so im assuming...)
if you connect the green pin to its corosponding blue pin the bridge becomes connected
i have a concern tho i remember being told that you cannot cross the bridges and i cannot check because i think i may have FUBAR'D my spare 1600+ during testing

...

i have an alternate ide if this one doesnt work...

so ghost68 i take it you never got it to work, if noone else will try it i may give it a go this weekend

quegyboe · Jan 16, 2003

This is a cool idea. Please post if it works people, I'm totally in favor of this over doing the bridges!

Ghost68 · Jan 16, 2003
