AMD has confirmed to me that FX-51 will never be SMP.  That is one of the
defining characterstics of Opteron (much like only Xeon is SMP in Intel-land).
The Opteron 248 is your SMP-capable FX-51.  Also, I don't hold much hope of
anyone "unlocking" an FX-51 from what I understand of how SMP capability is
enforced in the chips.
