Juicy bits
Pretty interesting if this is true. Anyone around in the Celeron 300A might feel a bit of nostalgia!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

whoa, that's pretty cool!
I do have to agree with the first commenter though. May very well be X4's with a bad core, then sold as an X3.

Re: Phenom II X3 Can be Unlocked to Phenom II X4
When AMD first announced the X3's, several tech news sites speculated that they were X4's with one faulty core - simply a way for AMD to make money on chips that would've otherwise been a financial liability. Stands to reason that the fourth core could potentially be accessed ... but would you want to if it truly is faulty?
