Hardwarezone has an article about how to change an Athlon XP into an MP.
Modifying the CPU to run in a dual configuration is much simpler than unlocking the multipliers. Just use conductive paint to connect the two pads together. No lacquer, or glue, or epoxy needed to cover up the hole. It doesn't matter if it shorts the underlying metal. However, do note that connecting these pads together does not automatically modify the CPU into an Athlon MP. It stays as an Athlon XP.
