Heres a screenie of CPUZ showing that my dualy is only running on single. Its at stock speeds since i recently reformatted and i reset bios too. I installed every relevent update on the AMD site but i cant figure out what else to do. Any ideas?

Not too familiar with your motherboard, but sometimes you have to get a newer bios that allows for dual core, and in the bios you may have to enable dual core (kind of like enabling hyperthreading).:cool:

thats odd because when i first got it i poped it in without a reformat or anything from my A64 3000 and it worked, once i was in windows i installed the AMD optimization and the dual core drivers and it worked and showed as dual core. Now no matter what i do it shows and single which sucks because now im not getting what i paid for
