| | Dual Core Xeon 3.6Ghz Processors Hello all.. Have a quick ? for you all... I have installed Windows 7 on my IBM Intellistation machine which has 2 Intel 3.6Ghz Dual Core Xeon Processors. Here's my question... In Device Mangler, it shows Processors>Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.60Ghz x 4. When I check Task Manager, it shows me the utilization of two processors. Is this correct!? Should TM show 4 boxes instead of two!? Or is Windows 7 seeing everything okay?! Thanks in advance! |

| | Which version of Windows 7 do you have? It's not easy to find the information, but apparently you need Professional or Ultimate to use two physical sockets. Home Premium only supports one. |

| | I forgot to include that.. My apologies... I have Windows 7 Home Premium x64. AND... Am I REALLY going to benefit from upgrading from Home Premium to Professional in order to utilize the processors!? Last edited by Goobz; 11 Apr 2010 at 01:49 PM.. Reason: Asked Question... |

| | IBM Intellistation with 2 x 3.6GHz Xeon Physically there are 2 processors (cores). However if "hyperthreading" is enabled then these 2 may sometimes show up as 4. I see the difference on my machine (running Ubuntu) when enabling/disabling hyperthreading. Hyperthreading is enabled / disabled in the computer's BIOS |

| | You cannot take advantage of 2 physical CPU chips with Home Premium. You have to be on Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate to utilize both physical CPU's. |
