It's time for another Good idea, Bad idea.
I've got an MSI 980a-G65 with a Phenom II 720 at stock speeds and I was wondering if there really would be a significant increase in performance and if it's worth it to unlock the fourth core. I've practically been brainwashed that unlocking the fourth core is a bad idea as it was disabled because it failed some sort of test at the factory.
If it is how do I unlock that extra core?
I'm running Vista business 64, phenom II 720, GTX460 768mb (later this evening it will be sli) 4 gig O DDR3 1333 ram (will be 8 later), and three 500GB hard drives that will hopefully be turning into a raid as soon as I learn how to do RAID.
