Hi chaps
I am wondering why super_pi is only using 50% cpu when i am running it??!!.I have checked affinity and both cpu bits are ticked and i tried just 1 at a time cpu 0 and cpu 1 and i just cant understand why?
I am running the following spec pc as i have now upgraded by mobo to aopen as i had abit vi7 before.
p4c{sl6z3} 2.4 at 3.01ghz {251 fsb} ram at 408mhz
1x512 kingston value ram at 2.5cas and 7-3-3
1x 512 NANYA ram at 2.5 cas and 7-3-3
AOPEN AX4SPE-UN mobo (865pe chipset }
2 x seagate 80gig ide 100udma drives
1 x dvd rom and 1x cdrw drive
when i run super_pi initially it uses 54% and first stage is done in 0.61 secs but then it drops to 50% and eventually when finishes with using only 50% cpu load i get 45.16 secs on 1M
so what is happening to me?? my temps arent bad at all 47.5 deg under 100% load running FAH and 3dmark together or anyother heavy using program.
but under windows it doesnt go above 36 deg case temp is 28-30 deg.
so can anyone explain why i am getting only 50% usage as i dont get why as surely if its got both ticked it should use both am i right?{the physical and the HT one}.
please can somebody tell me whats happening and how to sort it out to use all 100% so i can actually see a better result as at 50% its not a bad time for and old cpu overclocked eh.
thanks
mike
