    AFAik you can't unlock intel chips.
    Some early Celerons had no locks at all, o\cing potential depended on how stable you could keep it.

    It is almost impossible to unlock an intel chip, the multiplier is set by blowing fuses on the chip, so it is fairly set in stone. Some people claim to have unlocked celerons, however with very little evidence. They apparently resoldered some capacitors on the underside of the chip, and changed the multiplier, but I'm very doubtful about it.
