I have just finished building an HTPC with an AMD X4 635 Quad (2.9ghz). I have been having some problems with playing internet streaming video and have been ruling out all possibilities, manly focused on GPU and Internet bandwidth up till now
One thing I noticed is my WEI index for my CPU portion seems low - 3.7, considering what it is. What should I be looking at to try and resolve. All other indexes for other component seem reasonable, so the CPU score is the focus.
I should state that a few weeks back I had a problem where Win7 was only reporting 2 of my 4 CPU cores active, so with the help of Tom's forum, was able to get Windows to recognize all 4 cores. Appears when I installed Win7, not all 4 of my cores were active on my Asus mobo, so Win7 took that info as default. I have since unlocked the other 3 cores in the Bios, and subsequently was able to change the number of cores in msconfig - so system shows all 4 now.
Could this problem still be related to that. I am concerned something maybe wrong with this CPU, causing it to choke on video streaming tasks.
What specificazlly should I be looking at for that CPU WEI score
