I call BS on this. I get the same thing as you, ACC showing 4 cores but Win 7 still sees a dual core. I tried all bios 0502-0703 and same for each of these.

Are there any bios that are older than the one currently on your board?

So you know of anyone else getting the same thing or are they seeing 4 cores, because remember 7 is still in beta meaning the code could be partially disabled for debugging purposes, making sure the OS works on Dual cores first.

Nothing. This is the original released bios. I have tried 1.00 and 1.20. I have not tried 1.10.

I am so novice at this but I tried ACC Auto, Per Core, and All Cores.

I am on Vista Ultimate 32 bit.

I tried in XP and Vista with the same results. Using Auto, All Cores, and Per Core(0,1,2,3); the bios during bootup shows 7750 Dual Core and All 3 OS's say 7750 Dual Core.

I found another forum with folks who could and could not unlock X3's. It had something to do with the batch #'s. Blah Blah Blah w/e even if you unlock them i bet they run like crap and they are dissabled for a reason.

In other words I give up. But, if folks want me to try anything I will just drop a line.

Yep, if X3 demand is higher than they churn out cpus with a single bad core, they'll just disable good ones.

Quad for under $100, nice. When the 2 other cores are enabled, is their respective L3 cache enabled as well? Or do they use the cache for the other 2 cores?

Kumas already have all 2megs of L3 cache enabled. We can only enable cores with depending 512kB of L2 cache if we're lucky.

Is there any chance of Biostar boards having old BIOS revision repo that could be applied without running their proprietary exe from windows?
