Disabling core multiplexing - quad core on bad axe 2

[suicidal_orange]

Does anyone know (or would like to try if they have the hardware available ) what happens if you disable "core multiplexing" on a bad axe 2 with a quad core cpu?

I was just wondering as having 2 cores with 4mb cache (which would probably overclock higher than with the other 2 enabled) would be better for gaming at the moment, but I could use a quad when not gaming.

I'm probably dreaming and it will disable all but one core, but if you don't ask you don't find out - far too many keywords to get anything meaningful out of google

Thanks in advance,

Sorry stewart! Wasn't expecting it to do anything bad, especially if it stayed with more than 1 core active. Don't suppose you ran, say, superpi 8m when it was using 2 cores to see if there was a speed increase (indicating more l2) from having 4? Hard to know which cores it has disabled otherwise.

If not don't worry, wouldn't want to cause any more damage to your system.

Good luck repairing vista
