Yes it's 2 core. AMD Athion 64 x2 4400+. The HP Pavilion came with Vista installed.

If you have a dual core or quad core CPU you should look in task manager and if one core is maxing out and others have slack, set the affinity of several high cpu usage tasks to the slack cores. Using task manager you can end some of the tasks you don't need running when you are streaming flash. If you have a single core 2.3 GHz, I'm afraid that that is really on the low side for Vista.
I had a 3.8 and needed to bump it up to 5.0 back when I installed Vista.

Hello. Not sure if this is the right group. Is there a way to accurately test cpu speed? Mine is listed at 2.3 GHz. When I test it with the program cpuspeed it reports it from 1.08 GHz to 2.1 GHz. I've started experiencing alot of stuttering watching streaming flash with cpu at 100% and don't know what's wrong. Rebooting stops it for a little bit but it comes back.
Thank you,
Robin
