Laptop Dual core

[Camalot]

Hi,

Ive bought an Acer lappy which has AMD Turion 64 X2 1.6ghz.

When i first had it, i could alt crt del and click performance tap and in the cpu graph thing it was split into two. One for each cpu?

Since i reformatted it, it no longer split in two? Theres just one? Does this mean only one cpu is functioning?

Btw ive downloaded and installed the cpu driver from the Acer webpage.

I dont know if the dual core optomizer does this but look in the device manager, under computer. If it says uni processor, update the driver for it to say multi processor computer.
