Not sure if Asus has done the same for other AMD boards, but the new 1402 BIOS for the M4A78T-E allows for unlockable cores via the 'CPU Unleash' option under ACC.
I'm pretty stoked as Ive had to use the semi-broken modded 802 BIOS which really wasnt stable for everyday use (lots of coold boots, restarting etc).
To get the new BIOS to boot I had to start with fresh settings (cleared CMOS) without using any old OC profiles, disabling C1E and setting ACC to Per Core 0%. ... your mileage may vary.
Just a heads up for you ASUS/x3 ppl out there.
Now wait for the X2 550's to show up and see what they can do
(imagine an X4 Proc for around 100 bucks )
EDIT: I guess at least the Deluxe version has had this option since 27th of May ...
