Support for 2+ cores? Lenovo W500 Core 2 Quad
#1
W500 Bios Link: https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc...uj46u6.exe

W700 Bios Link: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/...uj24u6.exe

(I can attach the backed up rom from mine as well)

So the current state of the W500 Core 2 Quad modification requires you to use coreboot/libreboot or turn multi-core mode off in the stock bios. Multi-core on results in failure to post.

The W700 comes with Core 2 Quad support and features the PM45 chipset(no iGPU being the difference), by comparison the W500 uses the GM45 chipset.

Is there any possibility of updating the stock W500 bios to accept more than 2 cores? Or any direction someone can point me into doing so. Thanks!
