  • Athlon XP multiplier unlocking for the lazy.



    You still have to do it yourself, but for $12, it's a pretty nice kit.

    I've noticed not amny shops now sell unlocked XP's either they found it too difficult or there isn't much demand.

      Seeing that my XP1800+ was just dropped off think I'll stick to my Circuit Works silver conductive paint (pen form), some microballoons and clear fingernail polish to do the job.

      But perfect timing Jammy

        When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

          I haven't done any OC since my duron 700....
          I have a Athlon 1300 and I know that I can hit 1500 with it with aditional voltage ! (it got hot as he**)
          But I really don't see the point with it!
          I rather buy a xp1800+ and get those additional 200Mhz without the heat increase from h***

            I've got an overclocked Athlon 1g @ 1.15G and an XP running at standard 1800+. Haven't bothered about overclocking that possibly because of the diminishing returns.

                      This is about unlocking the multiplier on the chip.. not necessarily overclocking. There is a juicy new reason to do this.. the KT333 chipset. Just by upping the FSB to 166, you get a speed increase of 7-15%. So say you get an AXP2000+. It comes with a multiplier of 12.5x133. You could run this at the same speed by doing a multiplier of 10x166. Of course, you could always try 11x166 if you felt like it.
