Hey guys, weird problem I'd appreciate any help on. Just flashed my Rev. 1.02g P5W to Bios 2406. Popped in a Q6700 and got into Windows. 4 cores show in the device manager. However, only 2 cores show up in the task manager. Also, in the advanced options in the boot.ini tab in WinXP Home, I only have a maximum of 2 processors.
CPU-Z recognizes as quad, so does device manager, but it seems like everything else is seeing it still as a dual-core. (I upgraded from an E6600). I'm set as a ACPI Multiprocessor in the device manager under computer, so that's not the problem.
Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks a ton!
edit: Got it solved. I was using a modified boot.ini that was somehow preventing Windows from using the other 2 cores. I selected originial boot.ini in msconfig, rebooted, and now I have all 4.
