Chances of Unlocking Phenom II x2 555 to Phenom II x4 955

Solution
If you are doing a stop gap (I just did one with a 970 and X3 450) taking the change on the Phenom II 555BE makes sense. Remember it overclocks easy.

My current CPU is a core 2 quad q9300 so I would be downgrading if I went from quad to dual....... On other hand 955 > q9300 and 990 > 970. The question is, should I take the risk? I'll benefit greatly if it works out, on the other hand, I'll actually be DOWNGRADING if unsuccessful. Well, I plan on upgrading to Bulldozer in about 6 months after I make this system. So should I just go with 555?
