    dual core?

    Stupid question but just swapped my old cpu for a dual core x2 4200+...

    how do I get win2k to recognise the second core.. taskmanager just shows the one.

    my brother done the same thing a few months ago.. not sure how he done it.. but also after he said it was unstable...so he put vista on... prefer not to reinstall but i will test what ever he did first.. anyone know how?

    a repair install may be the best way, but 1st i would try updating the driver to multiprocessor ACPI and see how you go.

    just be prepared for a repair install if it doesnt work .
