[Zard0z]

New build does not see two cpus. Every time I load Win XP pro it does os

in the uniprocessor mode and not the multiprocessor mode.???!!!

 

Any ideas on this one??

Welcome to the "Street".

 

The first thing that I would try is downloading AMD updates and patches for your X2. These can be found on AMD's website. This can make a big difference.

 

Also, check Everest or one of the other programs of that type to see if it recognizes your processor correctly.

 

Let us know if this helps.

What bios need 623 or later for dualcore.

Just checked my bios on the board and it is 3/5/05 !

 

So I think this may be it! doh! I should have done that first huh:)

 

Also will check updates on AMD site. I will check back and let you know!

 

 

Thanks!

Update bios in the bios section there tmods cd its nice with all bios and some utilitys. OCZ tonys modded bios work well. System will not reconize the dualcore until update.
