I was under the impression that the Regors are not able to unlock the other two cores, and that only the black edition 5000+ come with unlocked modifiers for overclocking. I thought that the Regor was a native dual core processor (nothing else to unlock) as opposed to the Callistos which are quad cores with two cores locked. Anyone else have any info or insight?
Sorry about that, you are correct that this is not a Regor, but I still cannot find anything about unlocking the other cores. Any links or info would be great.
It's not a bad deal, but Newegg has several combos with this board. The only cpus that can have the potential for being unlocked are the tri core phenom II, or the 550 series, which has 2 disabled cores.

Are you saying this cant be unlocked?
The Sempron 140 Can be unlocked also.

Can you not read? This is not the same 5000 from 2 years ago.
Ill be sure not to waste my time here from now on.
It is true to unlock 45nM AMD 5000+ 2.2G, get a quad-core Phenom FX5000. Last day I received this combo, open 4 cores and 6M L3. I still need test the stability of CPU, depending on CPU and Motherboard. It is a very good overclock MB except no DDR3 and SidePort Memory. Note: This CPU only for DDR2 support,This GIGA MB requires ACC set AUTO,Special Core mode set to Hybrid in BIOS.

I bought the same proc and mobo. No go on the unlock. latest BIOS and everything. Will not boot, so YMMV on the unlock. In fact the Sempron will clock and perform better after unlocking it.

What was the stepping on the chip you received?

OP can you either post instructions on unlocking this to quad core or post a link to verify that it will unlock with this mobo. It is confirmed that this processor unlocks to quadcore but its not definitive that it will with this mobo
