    Update CPU code is basically support for new cpus, as long as your motherboard recognizes your cpu this will not help. Now depending on what motherboard you have, you can unlock the 2 extra cores on your phenom 555 BE to basically make it a Phenom II X4 955...for instance the Gigabyte's GA-MA790FXT-UD5P motherboard allows you to do this.
