Not on about changing the number of cores?

1. Type “msconfig” (without quotes) in Vista or Windows 7 start menu search box and hit enter.

2. Click Continue if you get a UAC prompt.By default, you won’t get a UAC prompt in Windows 7.

3. Navigate to “Boot” tab and click on “Advanced options” button.

4. Check the box named “Number of processors” and also select the number of processors from the drop down box.

5. Click “Ok” and restart to see the time difference.

6. You are done.

Well no it wasn,t that ..but when it says number of processors should that be 1 ? mine is a Intel i7

No it should say more (4 I think for an i7). On my laptop now, which uses a Core 2 Duo Su7300, it says "2" under the number of processors.

yeah but thats the number of cores there is only one CPU in the unit or am i wrong ?
