WTB Gold Finger Device (GFD)

[Blazer06]

I want to buy a gold finger device to overclock my AMD Athlon 750Mhz processor. Any ideas where I can get one?

Don't have any idea what one is muchless where to find it.

You attach them to Slot A AMD processors to unlock them.

I didn't think they were ever available to the public but just to developers to test the speeds the processor can reach and to some motherboad and chipset manufacturers.

EDIT>spelling>meant attach not attack

I'm pretty sure they were availble to the public, but I have no idea where you would find one now. Also, if my memory serves me right, they were about 50 bucks a pop back then. You'd have to get a hefty discount on one to make it worth your while.

Found just one on Ebay, searching GFD. I think your going to have a very hard time finding this item.

Hope you can solder.

EDIT: And find the components.

I remembered seeing it in the cyberguys catalog and just hopped over to their site.

Man $30 bucks each. I say build one.

I could solder it, but where would I get a 40-pin connecter. I dont have money to waste my processor. (unless you can find me a place to get a new one for like 10 bucks...)

I wonder if the old Floppy drive cable that had a slot in the middle would work.
