I just up-graded my computer from a socket 939 3500+ to an Opteron 180 dual core. I built this system a couple of years ago, and have done a few small up-grades on it since, so I know how the parts fit together. Software is another issue for me. I am a software idiot.
I am trying to figure out whether or not my dual core is being recognized. I've tried running a dxdiag on it and found this:
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition (5.1, Build 2600) Service Pack 2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.061219-0316)
Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD
System Model: MS-7125
BIOS: Phoenix - AwardBIOS v6.00PG
Processor: AMD Hammer Family processor - Model Unknown, MMX, 3DNow, ~2.4GHz
Memory: 2048MB RAM
Page File: 381MB used, 3560MB available
Windows Dir: C:\WINDOWS
DirectX Version: DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
DX Setup Parameters: Not found
DxDiag Version: 5.03.2600.2180 32bit Unicode
When I open the Task Manager I find no box to set the process affinity, as I understand I should if I have a dual core processor.
I am running the latest bios for my mobo (MSI K8N Neo4F), and I have downloaded and run the AMD Dual Core Optimizer. What have I missed?
