Long ago, there was a discussion online about adjusting the maximum number of cores in msconfig to boost performance. Many people tried it, then upgraded their CPUs without realizing the impact. A friend with a Phenom II x4 set four cores in MSConfig. Later, he switched to an FX 8300 but ignored the setting. He kept using that configuration for months, claiming no improvement. I checked his system and saw he had disabled four cores in Windows because the setting was already at four.
Yes, I was able to get the 3rd gen i3 running on your dh61ho immediately without needing a BIOS update.
