Ben...my device manager is showing that same entry twice. One for each
core. I am sure you only have one enabled, thus only one graph in TM. You
might look thru your bios and see if there is an entry to change that.

Does it show both cores in device manager/processors? I have a dual

AMD WinXpMedia SP3, both show in task manager here.

I have an amd athlon 64 x2 dual core processor running on
Windows xp with sp 3. When I look at the task manager
performance tab it only shows one processor. I've checked
the settings to see if the "show one graph per cpu" option
is on and thats not even an option. This has only changed
since I installed sp3. All of my programs seem to be
running slower, and I can't even run two programs at the
same time anymore. Any ideas on what I need to do to fix
this?


Wouldn't you need the 64bit version of it to run with
dual-core?

I'm running also a AMD dual-core but with another OS, and I
have both versions installed, the 32bit as well as the
64bit.

But if this happens with the 64bit I'm afraid I can't offer
you any solution except to wait and hope and wish for
updated fix or uninstall SP 3...
