Well, i have a good ol' ASUS striker extreme mother board w/nvidia nforce 680i, with an LGA775 slot with an intel core 2 extreme quad @ 3.00GHz (or what it should be running at.) with windows vista 64x home premium.
Now with most of the formalities gone, onto the problem. In any hardware monitor (windows task manager, nvidia control panel, etc.) my CPU shows up as a single core, being run at 2.00GHz, even though it is a quad core thast should be running at 3.00GHz (which gives me the most spectacular show of bottle-necking i have ever seen). I'd rather not mess around with clocking, but is there any way i could make it recognize that i have a quad core CPU and not a single core?
