A64 x2 problems....

[hougtimo]

Hi,

I have upgraded my machine so it now runs a socket am2 athlon64 x2 4200+. Now everest sees both cores, but when i really stress it, only core 2 does any work. core 1 never seems to do anything.

Is this normal?

Single-threaded programs (not sure if Everest is one) can't utilize both cores at once so Task Manager will either show one core being heavily taxed or 50% of both cores being used. So yes, quite normal unless Everest is multithreaded.

what are you stressing it with? aegis here is completely right. there at pretty much 0 dual core programs out there, which means only 1 core will work.
