| | Upgrade from Core2Duo to Quad core only shows 2 cores in task manager (0/1) I recently upgraded my Vista64 Ultimate from an E8600 to a Q9550. In the task manager, it only shows 2 cores. Device Manager shows all 4 CPU's. Bios shows all 4 CPU's. Any ideas on how to correct this? Attached are screen shots showing the problem. |

For a second opinion, get CPU-Z from cpuid.com. If it reports 4 CPUs, the issue is with Task Manager only. The fact that TM sees 2 cores indicates that the system is correctly identified as an ACPI Multiprocessor system. A check with Device Manager will confirm this. Besides CPU info, CPU-Z gives detailed memory info. |
