Unlocking Locked Athlons:

The gang at Overclockers Russia have posted a rather ingenious way to unlock those Athlon processors that are locked. By simply changing the L6 bridge configuration they tricked the mainboard into identifying the processor as a Mobile Athlon XP thereby allowing the multiplier to be changed. I haven’t tried this one out yet personally, but this certainly does seem like a possible workaround. Overclockers.Ru has a small graphic that outlines the L6 bridge changes that need to be made, grab a translator if you want to read the whole article.

As report some made this operation participants in the forum, it makes it possible to change coefficient on the blocked processors! Control function of coefficient seemingly passes to the group of bridges L6 after the transformation of table processor into the mobile. Judging by everything, to block "mobile coefficients".
