This review shows how to unlock the multiplier on the AthlonXP and how to reach AthlonXP 2000+ speeds easily." Note that by doing so, you are voiding any warranty you may have started with, risk blowing up your eyeballs, etc; do proceed with caution.

    heh, I know what you mean. I love amd but "XP" just says "crappy design" and "crash a lot" to me, even though that is not the case with the chip. I would get one but WHY THE STUPID NAME!! I guess marketing for stupid people.

  2. Bypassing security to overclock by seanfuller · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Bypassing this security mechanism is stealing, pure and simple. At least that is what some people say. But, when you buy a CPU you are not buying a service. If I want to buy a new car and then bore out the cylinders to get a little more horsepower, it is okay. Why don't car manufacturers put a big padlock on the engine compartment, then they could require you to take it into the dealer when you needed any kind of service. etc. I'm sure the people at AMD would differ with this opinion.
