| 46123 | 2002-04-28 11:19:00 | Hi, I have a system (not put together yet with the following base parts AMD Duron 1200Mhz Volcano 6Cu+ cooler (plus shim) 256mb DDR Ram GeForce 4 MX 440. I was wondering if so that i could get max performance out of my system i could unlock it. I know the 'pencil trick' does this but I want to know if this acutally can, or often does damage the chip. I have heard many internet reports about it and they seem to think it is safe. I know that it voids your warranty but all I want to know is whether it could damage the processor or not. Thanks in advance, Ashley |
