I currently have a mobo with dual sockets that had a Xeon 3.2 cpu.
With HT enabled i get 2 cores inside windows taskmanger, msinfo32 and so on.
I just installed another CPU in the second slot, and even though msinfo32 shows 4x 3.20 cpus, task manager only shows 2, also CPU-Z shows 2 x cpus x 1 thread.
If I disable HT in the bios I get the same results (obviously) but just 2 x 3.2 in msinfo32.
Whats going on?
Is this a windows 7 specific issue? or do I need to reinstall for it to pick up all the cores.
/first post, hopefully the right section, and hope for a reply/help
