Mathieulth responding on whether this can be used in conjuction with Graf_Chokolo's 3.41 linux install.

Yes you just need to use Update Manager to write 0x07 to 0x48C30 on the syscon eeprom and reboot. Write 0x06 to restore.

For those's of you that dont know the cell chip has 8 SPUs, Sony in the PS3 only use/allow 7 though (helped and maybe still does in making the percentage yield of cell processors higher; a common enough technique in semiconductors- see why overclocking/unlocking works as well as it does), in software or more accurately in the old otherOS/linux mode this was reduced to 6 SPUs with one being hidden/taken for background menu, security and the like.
This hack then restores the 7th SPU for linux/otherOS mode (or indeed what is called that mode these days given all the recent hacking work).

If you know what your doing, it's less likely to brick. It gives us more power to our PS3.
