Here's a sitee that tells you how to do it. the second link is a video that shows you how to unlock an Athlon XP which is really similar.

Is your board set to jumper-free mode? The vcore setting should be in the BIOS under ADVANCED...

Here's a good unlocking site with diagram:

hey guys tnx...

i already unlock my athlon and currently running @1ghz...but i try to push it to 1.1 or 1.2 it didnt run stable...i think its the vcore...

@jam: jam, i am in jumper free mode. but still the only options to choose is ignore/1.75 volts...can u point the exact location in bios?
i already spent hours exploring the bios but cant find how to adjust the vcore...i must adjust this one higher to run stable right?

tnx guys...for the links it works...tnx again
