Duron Locked or Unlocked?!?!

[Dynamix3D]

I have a Duron 650 with a blue core and its week 38, but how could I tell is its locked or unlocked?

Look to see if the L1 set of the "Golden Bridges" are connected. If they are then the CPU is unlocked.

week38 is most likely locked

I am guessing that my Duron is locked cause it doesn't look like any of the bridges are connected. I guess I'll just have to take a pencil and cover up the L1 bridges eh?

I wouldn't say cover up the bridges, but connect the bridges. You'll get some interesting results if you covered them all up with a single blotch of pencil. It would also be a good idea to use something more permanent, since many people experience deterioration of the pencil over time.
