266 and 266a Chipset Tweak... Help

I remember at www.tweak3d.net they had an article about a chipset tweak for Athlon XP's with the 266 and 266a chipsets (think they called it the 266a mini tweak) which greatly lowered temps during idle. Now the link is down for some reason http://www.tweak3d.net/articles/kt266a and I can't find anything else on this tweak anywhere else... Does anyone have the utilities or know where I can download them at? This was a great tweak and lowered my temps 15 degrees at idle

Any help would be appreciated, thanks
 
The tweaks aren't really a big deal, and they made mine and at least one other persons PC's unstable causing voltage fluctuations. Anyway you should be able to find it at via.com or something

My 1.4 gig TBird, Panaflo L1A + Asus A7V266E runs as cool as my previous 1.6A northwood with the above and is totally stable 🙂
I tried it on a GA7VTXH and had suability problems and have heard Iwill boards dont like it either.
Seems to be down to the mobo whether it will work stable or not.
