I recently ordered a computer with this processor. I've read about unlocking features of various AMD processors. Does this processor have anything that can possibly be unlocked? I've found these links, but they stray off topic and don't really answer the question.

Athlon II X2 models are the only processors AMD makes with 1mb L2 cache per core, and are the only native dual core AMD makes, there for nothing can be unlocked because there is nothing disabled.

You may get a no post situation. If your system is made by hp, dell, lenovo, etc. you won't have this option in the bios.

What is a no post situation? It's made by Acer.

he meaning, if there is 4 core on the cpu, that those 2 core that are disabled maybe defective and stop your computer from posting if activated. (Post is all the white text that you may see before you see windows loading)

There are no 'disabled' cores or L3 cache on the Athlon II X2 215 cpu die.
