Vista - 2 CPU/ Multicore Support

hi

I have vista ultimate and a compute with 2 CPU - each CPU is
multicore - so a total of 4 cores. How can I confirm that Vista can
see all cores and is using all cores ?

Right click the task bar and bring up Task Manager, Performance tab.

It only show 2 CPU monitors. which I presume are the 2 core on a
single CPU - Which means that one of the dual core CPU is not being
detected.. how can I enable that ?

That would be done in the BIOS. And no you are not seeing one core and
it's HT partner, you are seeing 2 cpu's with no HT to make it 4 cpu's.

What version are you running? Home Basic and Home Premium support one
physical CPU (one socket). Business and Ultimate support 2 physical
CPUs (2 sockets.)

For a Core 2 Duo you need Business or Ultimate.

Mike

Are you sure.. I use SIW (from http://www.gtopala.com/)

Property Value
Number of CPU(s) One Physical Processor / 2 Cores / 2 Logical
Processors / 64 bits


also in the device manager it says 2 processors

And I downloaded a gadget that only show the CPU utlization for core 1
and core 2. If i go to the bios, it only show CPU 0. how can I get to
CPU 2/3/4 etc... How can run a program to ensure that all 4 cores are
contrinuting.

I am running Vista Ultimate. - Windows Vista Ultimate x64

my comp has 2 sockets, each Intel CPU is dual core.

Hm..

I think. Are Core 2 Duo systems one or 2 CPU sockets? I don't have
one so I don't know.

Anyways, Vista CPU support is by the CPU socket.

Mike

core 2 duo etc is apple talk for some version of dual - core CPU.

I have 2 sockets.. each socket has a dual core CPU. I understand vista
ultimate supports more than one phy CPU which mean it should support 2
sockets.

how can I confirm that ? I am running ultimate

hm..

Hmmm indeed!

I'm no expert on Core 2 Duo systems, having never used one. My core
duo system at work (I'm VPNed into it right now) shows 2 Processors in
XPs System Information. Nothing about Cores. It shows 2 CPUs in task
manager.

It sounds to me like there is indeed only one CPU being used on your
system. I have no idea at this point how to enable the other one.
