Hey guyz... Got an interesting question.
Is the 630 a dual core?
It's been on the shelf for the last 3 months.
We finally got the vid and ram yesterday...put the system together and loaded xp pro.
Check the health in bios for half an hour to see where the cpu sat at...about 38 c.
When running some typical tests I noticed the system was quite responsive...even though I knew the 630 is suppose to be an average cpu.
Check the cpu usage under task manager and low and behold it's showing two cores at 3.0 GHZ.....
Checked the device manager and it too shows two cores at 3.0 GHZ stepping 10....
Is there a posibility that this chip was capped wrong at the factory, or not detuned for the 630 line?
Here's the setup:
Foxconn p915A01 motherboard
Intel pentium 630
Kingston 1GB DDRII 667
Old HDD
Old DVD
Radeon 1650 pro 512 pci-e vid card
