Athlon model 6 multiplier adjustment
The multiplier on a model 6 Athlon is set through a combination of the L3, L4,
and L10 bridges. Because of the way that these bridges are connected, setting
a configuration that is not in the standard table can damage the chip.
To rejoin a bridge, the laser cut must first be filled with some non-conductive
material. If the gap is just filled with conductive material, then that bridge
will be "locked" to the joined state, and cannot be changed by the motherboard
(eg: through the BIOS). Since it is often difficult to remove the material, this
method is not recommended.
The bridge configurations and the corresponding multipliers are:
| Multiplier | L3, L4, L10 configuration |
|---|
| 11.0 | L3:  L4:  L10:  |
| 11.5 | L3:  L4: L10: |

*1 = Some motherboards (particularily desktop motherboard) have problems with
the 3.0x and 4.0x multipliers, so these should be avoided, especially for the L3
bridges.
