Hi
Unless your Mobo has either a 710 or a 750 southbridge you will not be able to unlock extra cores (even if the CPU was capable) as you need ACC and it is only available on the quoted southbridges.

As far as I'm aware no one has done a proper study of unlocking so we don't really know. However, there seems to be a healthy number of people that have in fact unlocked theirs so the changes are decent at the very least.

ah good chioce sir!

i have one which unlocked all nice and stable. running smugly with a small nudge in volts @ 3.85ghz. can do 4ghz if neccessary

i do have a few problems with the HT and the latest BIOS from foxconn (HT multi locks itself at 5X no matter what setting i pick), but i have a hunch thats a foxconn problem, not a dodgy chip problem, as it worked fine before

last i checked, chances of a sucessful unlock was about 70%, but its never guaranteed:
