    I'd just be happy with a bios that adresses known issues with they're high end boards

    As far as the gigabyte not booting OS with a 720 unlocked thats laughable considering it holds multiple quad core 720 WR's

    I've got no strings to hold me down.
    To make me fret, or make me frown.
    I had strings but now I'm free.

    Did you press F4 when in the BIOS to uncover all the "secret" options?

    That is a nice feature for those who want to unlock and have a weak core.

    The really funny thing about that is the fact that Asus Boards like the M4A79 Deluxe don't even need a bad core to fail running as X4.
    That option seems to be more likely a way to bypass the fact that ASUS still has a real problem with full unlock.
    You can see this if you try your Phenom II as X3 with 0,1,2 and 0,1,3 if it failed as X4. For me both X3 variations are working fine, but its impossible to use all 4 cores at the same time.
    Seems that instead of fixing that problem its easier for asus to make us believe that most Phenom II X2 550 have a bad core and call that a great and new feature

    Hi

    Anyone here using a m4a78-e and be able to choose what cores?, I have bios 1302 and a phenom 550, it ulocks it ok but windows 7 fails to load everytime, so choosing 3 cores might help me.

    M4A78-E & BE50 and suck with unlashing mode = won't work .

    Every time and each time the same. For to booting i'll get message "unlashing mode fail".

    My BIOS version is 1302, but results are the same with all others too.

    You can't really say the CPU sucks. After all, at the end of the day, you did buy it as a dual core.

    And still nothing new about the M4A79 Deluxe yet.
    I guess:

    What if the CPU is not capable of quad-core operation?
    should be

    What if the mainboard is not capable of quad-core operation?
