Here's a series of pictures I took while upgrading my Abit BM6 v1.03 motherboard with a Celeron II 1.1GHz Coppermine 128 CPU.
I used the techniques illustrated here: http://www.3feetunder.com/krick/370mod/.

My old Celeron 366 (overclocked to 550)

My bare board with everything removed

The back of the socket on the motherboard

I've marked the pins that I need to solder the jumper wire to

I've connected the jumper wire...It's not pretty but it works

Socket 370 with the top removed and the pin taken out

A closer look at the removed pin...it was a major pain to remove without damaging other pins

The new CPU installed (with its retail Intel heatsink & fan)

The BIOS settings needed to make this work...Speed Error Hold MUST be Disabled!!!

Success!!!
And since you asked for it.... BENCHMARKS!!!
