well, i finally got it modded. i checked in the linux with the "/proc/cpuinfo" command, and sure enough it said 256kb :D
ill post some pics and how it overclocks later today when i get home. ;)

gj...and good luck! yea post some pics!
Just curious, how'd you finally end up doing it?
Good Job man! Wasn't too hard was it?
it was easy, once i had the conductive ink. ;)
i just scraped the dots with a box cutter, then i filled the gap with crayon. connected the bridges and it worked on the first try. :toast:
the extra cache on it dosnt seem to slow it down in terms of overclocking. heres a pic, more to come on the overclocking later.

Yeah, AS3 isn't too conductive. ;)
taco is it a greeny?
if so did you find the green pcb covering is fake?and the original pins were under that?
i have a 2000 thorton in the mail and have people telling me a million things to get the cache enabled but dont know who is right.
yes it is a green, new package processor.
you can see the (dots) bridges, but theyre not exposed to make a conductive connection. there is a very think layer of who knows what..
just scratch it off where the bridges are til they are exposed, and make the connection.
kool deal man clears that up.
ive had others on differant forums saying "just fill the pit with condutive junk" isnt no way in hell id even try that as i know it used to fry §§§§ before doing that.
now im just hoping this thorton isnt locked.this may well be my last xp or even amd purchase for that matter due to this lock scare.but ill let it sort itself out first.
heres an update. when it gets alittle colder outside, ill stick her outside, and see what she'll do. this ram is doing pretty bad, ill have to pick somthing else up. im not sure if its the ram or the nb, but this thing isnt getting too great of yields on the fsb.

where do you get these? wanna get one at excal since im gettings things from there but they only have the 200fsb ones :(
Massive :)
Testing mine with prime attm at 2.25Ghz - 1.8v, this cpus are gold, still considering in do the mod :)
ughhh wered you get it!?
Portugal store m8...damm this must be the first time i may actually get some goddies some americans don't have access to 1º ROFL :P
ok 2.25Ghz is the best no matter what it seems (prime stable)...anyway can't complain now can i!
BTW mine is brown.

that one moddable? the dot config on the L2's look wierd. it shares the middle dot with the L9 bridges
edit nvrmnd
you know where i can pick up a brown one?
no idea m8, sorry.
naw its fine i see green pcb's are fine. ill get one from newegg after comdex.
Wow very nice!
taco : what stepping? And is it a 1.4 or a 1.6?
Be careful, NewEgg is a big gamble on these chips. I got MIRGA's twice...Quote:

I can confirm taco's findigs but there is no way I'm scraping off the bridges, 256K it's ok with me.Quote:

btw: my 2400+ Thorton is locked (133 x 15)

sweet! im building a computer for my friend this weekend (VERY tight budget) so i will buy him this chip now(his money)...have a new toy for free for a month or two :). this chips hitting 2.5ghz...all my chips that i want do :)...see sig. i will torture it like i did my dlt3c...
blub : MIUHB 0336VPMW its a 1.6 :)
watch out for the A stepping durons corbec, you may recieve one.
how do i make sure its a B? newegg dont guarenty stepping
Like I said before, it's a gamble you have to take. If you get a MIRGA, return it for exchange, that's what I did but unfortunately I got another MIRGA again so I just return it for a refund and lost the 15% re-stocking fee + tax + shipping.Quote:

Good luck!
Well, I decided to unlock the cache after all by scrapping the surface to get to the contacts, even if it meant destroying the chip but I was successful... :DQuote:

All you need is patience and a lighted desk-mounted magnifying glass which I had but I was afraid to use.
nice ;) how does that extra cache feel over the 256kb? im maybe considering the 2000+ thorton.
i may have missed it somewhere, but which bridge do you scrape and then connect to unlock the 256 L2 cache? (just got my 1.4 mixhb )
I just got 5 2400+ thortons. Gonna give it a shot now. Tried it on a Duron last week, no problems.
I notice a big difference while folding as WU's fold faster but it became a bit unstable after the mod.Quote:

Here's a pic, sorry about the quality but it was taken with a videocam w/o macro.
and this is the L12, made the chip a native 166MHz
Wow I want 1 :)
got me a miuhb 0338 XXXX last week. it's a 1,6ghz duron. the first thing done was the bridge mod! :)
placed it on my brother's nf7 and fired up his rig. unfortunately no extra cache. :(
but the chip's nice. with his s***** hac v81 air cooler there's 2,5ghz @ 1,875v.
turned his pc on a day later and was surprised. 256kb l2 cache? :D
maybe the conductive silver just had to settle down some time.
WTF? So, is that the bridge you mod?Quote:

Or ain't the instructions for Thortons and Applebreds the same?
I've got a Duron 1.4 here, and from what I see, you mod the last one in the L2 row..
Haven't had any success trying to l2 mod it :(
what stepping is your 1400? it's probably "super locked."
chile: Week 37 MIXIB. A person on Overclockers AU has the same week & stepping so the chances are that it was an early super lock are slim.
on the applebred, you mod the last L2...i did it on my 1600 and it works fine...did you use conductive pen/paint or a pencil? i pencilled mine...
