hougtimo Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 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?HougTimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
