Ok, I recently changed my CPU in my PC. I ws able to boot
up my computer fine and my new processor was detected fine
by both my motherboard and WinXP, except, WinXP thinks
that I have two of them. My motherboard doesn't even have
two slots. The processor is supported by my motherboard.
As far as I know it has no real effect on performance, but
it's just something I want to get rid of if possible. I
am not used to having two CPU monitoring graphs in the
task manager, heh. I have tried uninstalling one of the
two processors (the second one it thinks I have is labeled
identical to the first and is the correct processor I am
using) but WinXP won't let me, it just never goes off of
the list. I have the most recent motherboard drivers and
my bios settings are all correct. When I boot up my
computer it only detects one processor and it is the
correct one. My specs are as follows:

Processor: P4 2.8GHz, 800MHz FSB, HT Tech, Prescott make
Motherboard: ASRock P4S55FX+
RAM: 512 DDR SDRAM PC2100
OS: Windows XP Home SPK 1a

Don't think anything else I have would be necessary to
list.
