I think you are thinking the cores themselves are cut and in some mobos you can unlock some cores. Amd Phenom x2 555 is a Phenom x4 555 with two cores disabled for marketing reasons.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/2927 It's a roll of the dice to see if one of these can be unlocked to show 4 cores. Some do and some don't In reality when the price of these units are so low you could have got your self a real quad for just over 100 bucks Good luck Michael -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
