CPU/Mobo help needed - unlocking my x2 555 on msi 880gma-e45 !!!!

FYI, MSI has earlier announced that the new 800 Series of Motherboards might/will not have core unlocking features as pronounced as that of the 700 series.

"Finally, don't be confused by the Core Control menu - it's not there to unlock the extra cores of a Phenom II X3 CPU, as MSI does not and will not feature this option. Instead, this menu lets you disable CPU cores. This is only of use if you’re trying to break CPU frequency records by only running one core (and thus lowering the thermal output and power draw of your CPU), so it’s very strange to see the option in a modest micro-ATX motherboard’s BIOS."

Its tru that Core Control is not meant for unlocking cpu cores.
its for enabling/disabled active cores for oc'ing.
But UNLOCK CPU CORE is meant for unlockng hidden CPU cores.
