Dual Processor

Alright people,

I’ve got a dual processor (not dual core) machine in work at the moment.

Anyone know how to test to make sure that both Processors are working?

It’s just had a fresh install of XP Pro and thankfully all the drivers are all there.

Re: Dual Processor

You can see both processors in task manager

Re: Dual Processor

Is it branded? If so download the diagnostics software that they normally supply. That will give you the best indication.

A quick and dirty solution of course would be to open Windows task manager. You should see more than one processor and some activity in each.

Re: Dual Processor

Sorry - can't edit my posts from work - I think you see both CPUs under the "performance" tab on task manager

So you can, thank you. ;)

Re: Dual Processor

another test is to run Anarchy Online with both processors enabled - it looks like the chase at the end of the Benny HIll show if they're both enabled :D

Better still use 'Process Explorer' a free tool from Sysinternals http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896653.aspx

Task Manager on steroids.

Part of the corporate windoze server build spec. A very useful tool
