Does the bios say anything about the CPU for enabling dou core on the ex490? Maybe I need to change something. How can I access the bios? Can I access the bios without the mod being sold here cause it's kinda pricey.

You need the debug board to access the BIOS, or you can build your own, I believe Charles has the link in his Marketplace post. It's been a while since I've been inside the 495 BIOS but I do not believe there is an option to enable dual core chips. All the discussion the EX49x forum indicates people simply installed the new CPU and rebooted a couple times.

EX495 units come shipped with dual-core units.

The debug board is great, works flawlessly and makes immediate management a breeze. If the funds allow, opt for the model with VGA out.
