Hello,
Hello, Can any one help me unlock my AMD athlon 440 X3 processor's 4th core. i have a foxconn AMD A6GMV AVTI motherboard and im quite new to this. Thanks alot.
 
Why is your title a URL?

And AFAIK, you need a mobo that supports it and then you simply select the option to unlock the core... then test it for stability... done.

for a few dollars more (and this older board is priced only $39) you can upgrade to at least a 785 Gigabyte for $55.
as for this board I am not aware of unlocking features, there might be, not to familiar with foxconn retail..

Thats the board, is it something already on the board or is it a download?
Thanks alot.
