Which Asus better?

[Algu6]

Hi!
I am building new PC and got stuck choosing motherboard. Goal is to get best value for money and to be able to unlock (if I am lucky) Phenom II x2 555, and to overclock everything a bit.
I have two good and still quite cheap motherboards in my mind:

Asus M4A87TD
or
Asus M4A785TD-V EVO

I am kind of unsure with core unlock button, or does it have ACC in BIOS as well? Someone has experience with it? I heard that the core unlocker is total crap.
Also will 6GB\S increase performance of my 500GB, 7200 RPM, 16 MB cache, SATA II HDD? I guess the 6GB\S helps only SATA III, or am I wrong?
And I don't care about integrated graphics card in the second mobo as I got a graphics card.

EVO for me. I cant comment on the core unlocker. As i have not used any AMD CPU's recently.

6GB/sec is SATA III. Good feature to have in handy for the future, not now. SATA II's isn't thoroughly drained right now.

^+1...

To add to the above, I would go with the cheaper of the two, as both will meet your needs.

Another note, neither are great options for Crossfire down the road, if that might be a plan.

ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD -might not have s3 or u3 who cares it supports x8/x8 and it's cheap.

They both cost the same. M4A87TD seems to have more features, I'd surely choose it if would be sure it unlocks CPUs as well as second mobo does.
