I guess it should work just fine, these aren't high current bridges or anything.


------------------
MSI-6167 w/ Athlon 500@750 (thx Greebe!), 128MB Crucial PC133, G400MAX,SBLive!-MP3,Pioneer 10x DVD, Phillips CD-R, a hard drive or two, and a Sony 420GS. Running RH6.1, and Win98 (when I have to).

Now you tell me!
Another alternative,is using the little grid repair(rear defroster-automotive)kit available at any auto supply place.Comes with a stencile that if lined up with the bridge works well!

Damn AMD! They've beaten Intel again, this time with a "locked" CPU that requires nothing more than one of the most primitive data storage tools most people own to overclock.

You still need a motherboard with multiplier setting, or hack the socket.

Hack it with what? A pencil sharpener?

SteveC,

Actually, you could take the blade out of a pencil sharpener and use that to cut the traces on the mb.

[The PIT]

Don't forget the pencil rubber if you need to send it back.

Seems like alot of ppl are having success with this procedure.

Just finished penciling my Duron. About to change FIC VA 503+ for Abit KT7.
Muahahahahaha

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rr.

[EchoWars]

Does that last post mean that it didn't work?

Just got done rebuilding my dad's system with a Abit KT7 and a Duron 700. Did the pencil trick (using a magnifying glass), and now running at 800 (could go higher, but I have a problem with his system being faster than mine...hehe).

Also stuck in a GeForce2 MX. Damn...where the hell is my G800 - that MX looks pretty damn good
