Dual core processor only ones on one core
I have an AMD X2 3800 dual core processor on an Asus M2VMX motherboard.The
cores show up fine in device manager, but when I check using any number of diags only one processor shows up. I've updated all of my drivers and bios without any luck. I'm running Vista Home Premium. |

my guess is go to computer properties then advanced properties then
enviroment variables the look in system variables number of processor change to two, but before doing this i'd like a sec opinion -- Jonathan Perreault Personnal Advice To You: #1: Do Not Undermine Windows's Work, Or It'll Undermine You As A User. #2: Torture Windows (Any) Now Before It Tortures You Best Comments From Users: No Matter The Problem Even With Linux, It's Microsoft's And Windows's Faults A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools.

I checked, the number of processors was set to one, I changed it but after
rebooting it had reset back to one.

Vista (and XP) configure themselves during installation and not again even if the hardware changes. If Device Manager shows ACPI multiprocessor for your CPU, then it's correctly identified and the diags are counting the number of physical processors (one) rather than the number of cores. Tom Lake |

If you select an application process in task manager are you given the
option in properties for it to us one either CPU1 or CPU2? If yes then both cores are working correctly. "Annesouth" wrote in message ...

First, yes I did a fresh install. I went to task manager brought up
properties on an application and there were no options for cpu choices. In the device manager in the Computer item it shows ACPI PC. Under processors it shows both cores.

In Task Manager Performance tab Menu View CPU History, is One Graph Per
CPU checked? Do you see two windows under CPU Usage History? I Bleed Blue and Gold GO BEARS! "Annesouth" wrote in message ... First, yes I did a fresh install.

I have the same problem... Everything was fine before I messed up with the
ACPI... I tried to update the driver... It was called ACPI x86 based computer now it's ACPI computer and I can't revert it back to the first one...
