Athlon Engineering Samples

A friend of mine got his hands on some AMD engineering sample chips (Don't ask me how.) Any how I managed to get one and it didn't work, but I noticed that none of the bridges are broken, so I was wondering if anyone has a good method for breaking some (or maybe all) of the bridges. From the best I can tell, most of the chips are T-birds so they are in the ceramic packaging. I'll post a picture if any one wants to look at them.
 
Instead of posting pics, how about you send me one so I can have a hands on sample?😉

I really have no idea what would be the easiest way to break the bridges, but I would like to know myself. Good luck with those samples.
 
Please post some pics. 🙂

Why would you want to break some of the bridges. If they're closed, that should give you BIOS control over those features. Or, are you doing it to change the default core voltage?

Please do. When have ATers not wanted PICS!?!
