3.4Ghz should be a walk in the park for the 550 but what HSF are you using?
When it comes to unlocking the 3rd and 4th core I see your board uses the 700 southbridge which doesn't have ACC, so no you cannot. You need a board using either 710 or 750 southbridge for ACC and not all 710's even support ACC.

What do you plain on doing with a Quad that your Dual core can't do? If your gaming and other basic crap you don't need a quad, maybe for 2-3 games and still not a great advantage. Now if your going to be doing some video editing then I can see why you NEED to have a quad. What batch # is your 550?
i dun have a p II x2 550...i have a x2 6000+ @3.02ghz...
just want to know about the 550 ...cause one of my friend is ready to buy my x2

Well if your not looking to upgrade your board but want a 550 I have one for sale if interested. Mine however will not unlock cores even with a SB750 equipped board but a nice OC'r.
