On other forums you'll see thousands of posts about unlocking and the percentage of success is pretty high (definitely over 50%), but there is no guarantee the chip you buy will unlock and be 100% stable an X4, I'd say if you really want a quad core then just buy a quad core. What cracks me up is people who post "they are disabled for a reason" yet don't have any first hand experience. ------------------------- MSI 770-C45 Phenom II X2-550 @ X4 @ 3.5GHz @ Stock Vcore.

May consider getting the new 555 if the price comes down soon. ------------------------- Phenom II X6 1100T B.E.@ 4.26GHz Corsair H70 Core Hydro ASUS Crosshair V Formula 2x4GB G.Skill RipjawsX@ 1894MHz, 9-10-9-28 SLI: 2x EVGA GTX 570's@ 902/1804/2032 Creative SB X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Corsair HX850W Modular Cooler Master HAF 922 2x Win 7 Home Premium (x64)
