I know this is a stupid post but here goes: What is the "Pencil Trick?"

[A2KLAU]

The tital says it all! What is it? Give me a link so I can read it up and catch up with it please! I haven't bothered to keep up because I have a classic Athlon but now I am planning on upgrading to T-Bird and want to know.

Thanks in advance!

SKY.

its where they use a pencil to bridge the L1 connectors to unlock tbird/durons. Anand has a guide on it...

Could you give me the link to where Anand told us about it? I go search and I can't find it! Please could you give me a link so I can get my head round this issue cause I don't know where the L1 is and where to bridge the gap from here to there and also whe you say Unlock meaning you ahve full multiplyer usage from the mobo or something like that? I need a link and some great detailed review or soemthing to get my head round this issue!

Thanks,

SKY.

the other guys answered your question, but a post is never stupid if you don't know the answer.
