Can ECS Motherboard unlock Anthlon 2 450

I'm considering purchasing today's newegg shellshocker combo, but I don't know if the motherboard will be able to unlock the 4th core of the CPU. Anyone??

Right from Newegg's overview of the board,yes it will.


"The ECS A880GM-M7 (V2.0) is an affordable AMD platform motherboard that brings out the best of AMD 880G and SB710 chipset to pair with the AMD's AM3 processors. It supports dual-channel DDR3 1600(OC) memory and ECS "Special ACC" technology to unlock the hidden cores of AMD processors for extra performance. The integrated ATI Radeon HD 4250 graphics provides adequate 3D gaming and HD video playback capability. If that is not enough for you, simply update your display subsystem with the PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot. The A880GM-M7 (V2.0) features 6x SATA 3Gb/s ports with support for RAID 0,1,10 configurations."

But in the details it says:

"ECS "Special ACC" TechnologyECS "Special ACC" technology provides stable unlocking of hidden cores within the AMD Phenom II and even Sempron 140 processors. It offers instant benefit of additional CPU cores without additional cost for improved performance in multithreaded applications. You can enable/turn-off this feature in BIOS at will for added flexibility to suit your application needs."

So it only works with Phenom II and Sempron 140 processors???
