X2 showing as Single

[The Surgeon]

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).

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

Are you using the newest version of Cpuz,Your Bios, If you look under divice manager under teh computer tab what does ti say is installed the multiprocessor our the uniprocessor ?

[The Surgeon]

it says -Processors
|_AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+

and also says -Computer
|_ACPI Multiprocessor PC

Yet it still performs like a Single core and shows as single core in Task Manager

go to your device manage , expand computer and tell us what you see there ?

-Computer
|_ACPI Multiprocessor PC is what it shows me in device manager as i stated before.
