SocketA overclocking adapter - might just happen from PowerLeap!

I posted this to PowerLeap forums:

Recently there's been a lot of discussion in the net about how to change clock multiplier factor on Socket-A AMD Athlon and Duron processors by simply manipulating signals of BF_ID and F_ID pins.

Some motherboards, like Asus A7V and Abit KT7 will ship with this function. As far as my technical knowledge goes, it is possible to manufacture a SocketA to SocketA adapter which could via a DIP switch or jumper block offer the same functionality to any SocketA motherboard.

Am I just daydreaming here, or would that kind of adapter be possible? Or have you already looked into a possibility of manufacturing such a device?"

...and their response was encouraging...

We're working on some projects regarding the AMD Socket-A T-Bird & Duron CPUs. Stay tuned.

Salvation for my seemingly unoverclockable MSI K7Tpro/Athlon 800mhz combo might be at hand 😀
 
Yeah, Abit is rumored to be working on one also...which means Asus most likely is too. I think with all this stuff happening with the multipliers being locked or not has sort of taken over the T-Bird/Duron news, becaue I have not heard anything recently. I think this makes nothing but sense for them to do because there are still a ton of people with Slot A mobo's. The only tricky thing is that the Socket A CPU's use a "open/drain" signal, and the Slot A versions use the "push/pull" signal. But they were able to make T-Birds in slot A format that use a "push/pull" signal, so anything is possible.🙂

I just hope they have it out in time for the release of the "Mustang"...my next CPU!
 
Sounds good I know it isn't that hard i know that you can make a lot of money if you make them on your own and sell them and take in all of the profits. I'm sure there is a way to run a small current throught the resistors that will disable them while the system is on so while at the same time getting resistors placed in the area.
