Just a quick note for anyone Using a GA-K8NXP-SLI mobo.
I installed an Ath X2 only to find that Vista did not recognise the dual cores.
After updating the bios (which has to be done one revision at a time!!!) I got Vsita to see the cores in the welcome center BUT task manager was not monitoring both and the OS wasn't using them.
Very strange but the reason was that If your BIOS doesn't detect the chip on boot, Vista install won't either!
After updating the Bios I had to re-install vista to get it to detect AND USE the dual core.
Cheers,
