Q: I do not understand your article, could you please explain to me how...
A: For starters: This article is about software controlled multiplier change. What you set in BIOS is hardware controlled multiplier change and it has nothing to do with this - software controlled doesn't depend on whether your motherboard is able to change multiplier in BIOS or (via DIP switches), whether you use wire tricks or not. Hardware controlled change works only at startup, software controlled works anytime, even from Windows. Software controlled is pure internal change inside the processor itself. No pins are affected by this. But for software controlled change there are some requirements that has to be met. First the processor must have some MSR registers enabled and those registers are disabled for desktop parts. You have to use regular mobile CPU or to modify your desktop part to mobile. To do this, connect one bridge on L5 on processor package. It is the second from right on Thoroughbred and Barton cores, the second from left on Palomino and Morgan cores. Second, chipset on your motherboard has to support software controlled change (eg. support PowerNow!) and the chipset has to be configured properly by BIOS. If your chipset doesn't support PowerNow!, there is no change it will work. If it does support it but is badly configured, then you have to adjust chipset settings by a program called WPCREDIT. On majority of motherboards however, this is not necessary.
