Two CPU's Listed in Device Manager

[Denise_M]

Hi,

I have a dual core AMD CPU. In Device Manger, it shows that I have two of them. I deleted one of them once but it came back.

Anybody have any thoughts on the subject? Should 2 be listed because it's a dual core CPU?

Yes, there's supposed to be 2 there. It counts 2 "logical" CPU's, but there's still only 1 physical CPU. It's the same in my Core 2 Duo computer; and if you were to have a quad core,there'd be 4 listed in the device manager.

By the way that yellow question mark usually means you need to install a driver for what ever it is.

Hi Carnage . . . thanks for the explanation.

Hi Wicked . . . The yellow question mark is for my Maxtor One Touch II ext hdds. I installed the software, which is basically only Retrospect, but there are no drivers on the disk. I checked for drivers on the net and couldn't find any. The reason might be because Maxtor was bought out by Seagate and Seagate dropped support for these oldies, but it could also be because Retrospect is the driver as well as a Restore program, or maybe no x64 drivers are available for them. The software worked on my old 32-bit pc.
