2 CPU's installed?!?!

[Tolkien]

Hello, I've had this problem before reformatting also, it might be a reason why my computer is not performing to its full capacity. Apparently even after reformatting, it still shows as 2x P4 3.20GHz processors showing... I dont know what to do. I have the option to "uninstall" from the driver manager, I just dont know which one to uninstall, and whether it will mess up my computer?

Here are some screenie:

Please help, I dont know whats slowing down my computer, its such a good computer but its not performing like it should!

 

[Osiris]

This is funny, you didnt get rid of it even by formatting? HHmmm.....wonder why...


Maybe because you haave hyperthreading??

 

[Meithan]

Yeah, that's probably it. Hyper-threading tricks the OS into thinking there's two available processors.

 

[Tolkien]

Yes I have Hyper Threading.. does the 2 cpu's have anything to do with my performance? How can I make it run like it used to? I tried the reformating + registry hacks.

 

[keyser09]

Its not a problem man the processors are fine theres nothing wrong...... with the 2 processors...

 

[killians45]

make sure you install chipset drivers for the MBD

 

[Mentali$T]

I used to have that on my old computer. Nothing to worry about tho its fine.

 

[kpmwrestler]

maybe it is dual core and windows is doing something strange with it.

 

[Tolkien]

Its not dual core.. Where can i find the MB Chipset drivers?

 

[The General]

Are you sure that's the problem? Are you sure it isn't just nothing?

Hyper-Threading tricks the operating system into thinking your 1 processor is actually 2. That explains your "0n0z! t3h t\/\/0 CpU'z !n t3h my PC!!!1" thing.
