Strangeness.. ASUS M4A78T-E "unlocks" AMD Phenom II X2 to X4 ??

BIOS now says "4 cores enabled", Task manager shows 4 processors, and CPU-Z says it's a 4-core Deneb Phenom II X4 B45 at 3ghz. You just got 4 cores or the price of two. That is assuming that the other cores are good. If quad core CPUs were as easy to make as dual core CPUs, no one would sell dual core CPUs. You might get lucky, but I would suspect potential problems.
