Well guys I unlocked my XP last night. Uses my g/f's purple nail polish to fill in the slits, then used rear-window defogger repair paint to connect the bridges.
I tried numerous times using the brushes that came with the nail polish and the rear window kit -- using invisible tape to tape off a stencil. But I just could not control where the defogger paint went (it seemed to seep under the tape), or it would come off with the tape when I taped over connection to paint its neighbor.
Then I had an idea. I went with my g/f to the art store (she likes to paint) and bought the finest point paint brush they had (0/0 was the tip size -- and it came to a point).
Then I taped off the connections and painted over the slits with her quick-dry nail polish. After that I ditched the tape all together.
Then I just free-handed the connections using the super-fine paint brush and a delicate touch. I didn't tape anything else off.
When I was done -- I let the defogger paint dry. Then I used an exacto knife to scape away any excess paint (places where the connections look too close together). Ended up with five perfectly connected bridges.
Bottom line -- it's very helpful to purchase a very fine paint brush and an exacto knife when getting ready for the unlocking procedure. The brush cost me about $3.
BTW: I get access to all mulipliers except that when I use 12.5 (XP 2000+), I get 13. This seem to be an 8K7A Mobo issue becase the same thing happened when I tried using my old factory unlocked T-bird at 12.5.
I'll post pics next time I yank the processor out.
