Calisto Phenom II 550 just hit the shelves!

anyone interested in having chips that are unlocked should probably get one real soon. AMD is pushing hard for mobo manufacturers to stop supporting unlocking in the bios. there's also efforts to make two of the cores useless in the later batches. i read this a few days ago, but i really forgot the source. let me try to find it and link it.

Hmmmm would happen sooner or later. Im gonna tweak it while i can..


0921 APAW X4core 550BE. Second one of this stepping to unlock that i know of.


If i was AMD ,,
Just go with the flow ,let Enthusiast push these things...I have several friends that have grabbed new Mobos and a 550 just to play.

Nothing to lose and lots of people still tweak CPU's,, Mobos with the ADDED feature to tweak these chips are actually getting great results.
