Just installed a new Q9650, and Windows is showing 2 cores in the device manager.
Just flashed the BIOS on my EVGA nForce 780i SLI FTW (What a crap name on a board :P) but still no go.
Reinstalled OS too but it's still showing 2 cores.
On my server I got a Q6600 and it shows up as 4 cores in Windows 7 so I guess this CPU should be the same..
Edit:
Fixed it. Forgot to clear cmos :P
ya the reason is that windows xp is built for a dual core sys. and not for Q4 and above.
What does that have to do with Windows 7?Quote:

Who lied to you bud? XP will support up to 2 processors not 2 cores. You can use 2 quad core CPUs on say a skultrail mobo or something.Quote:
