"Unlocking" a t-bird?

OK, to continue my barrage of overclocking questions:

On the outdated guides that I've been reading about overclocking, they say you have to unlock your CPU (in this case, a Thunderbird), then use the motherboard settings for multiplier and FSB to overclock. As of September of 2000, the only way to unlock a CPU was using a pencil or something and filling in the L-something bridge on the CPU. Has this changed??? Is there a better way???
 
well, if you buy a 1.2ghz or better amd cpu, it comes factory unlocked! 😎

and if your cpu isn't, use a conducive pen to connect the L1 bridges.
