    dual core in win2k

    it doesnt show the 2nd core in task manager and appears not to recognise it, cant assign any process to each from taskmanager.

    Vista rc1 does though. Would I need to reinstall after putting a dual core in there?

    My psychic powers tell me you upgraded the processor without reinstalling the OS. Actually a little googling got me here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/234558/en-us

    thanks, its my brothers pc ill paste him the link tomorrow.

    Also, it confirms theres a problem with his setup. In vista prime95 fails instantly but only when its assigned just to one core, on both it is fine.... so we really wanted to know if 2k was using both or what... still doesnt explain it but will find out more tomorrow.
