Unlocking an Athlon XP or any CPU can be a daunting task at best.
I have unlocked a few and have not always been successful on the first try by any means. Sometimes its taken as many as 4 tries. I personally prefer the Super Glue/Micro-Conductive Pen as this
way has worked the best for me in the past.
  Below are some links to many different unlocking Guides and How-to's.
