How to: Unlocking the AMD Athlon II X4 620
Using the Biostar TA790GXE 128M, I can unlock the AMD Athlon II X4 620 to enable 6MB of L3 cache on the processor.
6MB L3 cache unlocked= low frequency Phenom II
+ a little bit of overclock you are about to get a processor that is about one time more expensive that the Athlon IIs, the Phenom IIs.
www.techgeeksg.blogspot.com :"Check out the video on youtube I've made teaching you how to unlock AMD Athlon II X4 620 so as to get an extra 6MB of L3 cache! With an extra 6MB of L3 cache, you'll have about the same performance as the more expensive Phenom II line of products from AMD which are much more expensive. With a little bit more overclocking, you're good to go!"

It's really great to show your video! I have an Athlon II X4 630,i wonder if i can unlock its L3 cache, too :), but since i have an ECS A780GM-A Black mainboard that come with SB700, it is impossible to unlock my X4 630, and get 6 MB L3 Cache, unless i upgrade this mobo that has SB710, or SB750, even newer SB850..
