I had one of those bp6 motherboards. The first and last dual socket
motherboard I owned.
Those were the good old days.

Oh, absolutely, but it doesn't always work out that way. Similar
deal to the
old 300MHz Pentium II's with the SL2W8 s-spec. Most did 450MHz just
fine,
but mine was always a little buggy. Then the Celeron 300A was the
big thing,
and I got two, both did 464MHz all day long for a full 10 years
before they
were finally knocked out of service by a PSU that went bad. Luck of
the draw
on either side, I suppose.

Yeah, I have to agree but if you read as many hardware reviews as I
do
they practically say most will unlock and tout the bang for buck. I
have
a 0904 X3 720 BE that will unlock the 4th core stably and I bought it
the same day NewEgg began to sell them. That was before anybody knew
about ACC and unlocking cores/cache. I don't feel comfortable RMA'ing
it
as you say it works as advertised. Still, would have been nice to
have
a
$104 quad core...

Unethical. If it runs at its designed and advertised specifications,
returning it for not exceeding them is just wrong. So is returning
it
for
any reason or invoking the warranty now that you have overclocked
and
overvolted it, IMO.

Well my new CPU came yesterday and it overclocks to 4 GHz stably
with
1.4v which I don't consider excessive. However, it won't unlock the
other 2 cores so I expect there is a defect in 1 or more of the
unused
cores. What is the collectives opinion on sending it back for a
replacement? Ethical or not? What would you do if you wanted a
cheap
dually that you wanted to run as a quad? Thanks!
