hi. this is my spec:

Geil 2x2GB PC6400
Palit Geforce 8800 GT 1GB

my problem is windows report that only 2 cores are active. these are;

3. Device Manager

CPU
Recommended: Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz/Athlon X2 4400+ or better
You Have: 2 processors running - Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz

i thnk what they are saying is you might go to msi and download the new bios so the board will recognize the newer cpu its common that the mother board was made before the cpu so u will have to update /flash our bios
