Split personality.

My enviromental variables insist that I have both an AMD and an Intel Core 2
Duo processor. I del. the AMD and next time I check its back in there. This
hard drive was new and has never had an AMD connected to it. With the
exception that my second maching that is on a direct LAN with has an AMD 64.
Does my box need to go see a shrink?

Re: Split personality.

PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE AMD64


PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER EM64T Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 6, GenuineIntel

Is that not telling me that it is slightly confused?

BNy the way I did a complete wipe o the drive today and reinstalled. It
comes up the same. This is without any other hardware, software, updates,
nothing but the first real start after install.

Re: Split personality.

Hi,

EM64T is Intel's clone of AMD's 64 bit instruction set, which is what your
Intel processor is based on. You can read more on it here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64 What you are seeing is the system
recognizing it as AMD's technology. Intel's 64-bit version of the processor
instruction set is IA-64.
