oh, right, i gotcha. sorry for misreading that.
well, i just took the cpu out and guess what i found? not only did the laser burn a gap inbetween the L1 bridges, but it actually burnt completely through the bottom of the L1 bridge! :shrug: there is no gold color for the contacts what so ever, just black burnt gaps.
i tried the pencil trick, but it was in vain. still no success with multiplying it in the bios. oh well.
i got all the stepping info from the die while i had it out. if it will help anyone else, here it is:
AMD Athlon
A0950DMT3B
ARGA 0125RPMW
96823240052
c1999 AMD
anyone else ever dealt with an ARGA before?
