Phenom II CPUs have ACC built in (the original feature, intended to provide more over clocking headroom and stability with Phenom I CPUs). All SB700-based southbridges also support ACC so unless you're looking at older mobos from 2007, or you're planning on using a Phenom I, it's a complete non-issue.

If you're talking about taking advantage of the glitch that causes extra cores to get unlocked when you activate ACC, there are probably endless discussion on which mobo is best for unlocking CPUs.

If you want a board just for ACC then I recommend ASUS. ASUS boards have the option to unlock cores separately so out of two unlockable cores if one is really defective and the other is not then you can unlock it to a tri core.

Asus boards are nice no doubt.

You may also consider the Biostar 785GE 128M (Ver 6.1): http://www.amazon.com/BIOSTAR-Micro-...pr_product_top

This is a AM2+/DDR2 with sideport memory board that will unlock and also take the new 6 core CPUs with a bios update (already available). I have this board running a unlocked 555 at 3.6Ghz Quad Core. Great board.
