Asus has revealed a new BIOS update for no less than 17 of it's AMD motherboards that will have Phenom II X2 owners falling over themselves to get at it. The update will allow AMD Phenom II dual cores to allow the choice of not only unlocking an extra one or two cores, but also which core will be unlocked ... Often unlocking BOTH of these hidden cores will cause instability if everything isn't 100 per cent working ... Asus' advantage is that if you have just one bad core, you can specify the BIOS to unlock a single, specific core to give you a free triple core that's far more likely to be stable and overclockable.
