2 CPU Question

Blazing_Javelin · 10-09-2007, 12:59 AM

Is it common to have 2 CPU's? Please post if you have 2 cpu's or you know alot of people with 2 CPU's

Depends if your talking about 2 processors on one board in two sockets, as in a Server setup. Or a Dual Core processor. If your talking about Dual core then quite a few do.

no i mean 2 CPU's (NOT DUAL CORE)

For a desktop, running a two socket board is not that common but a few do. Most will have Dual cores.

k GOOD because I have kind of crappy Processors but i supposebly have 2 of them (they are Pentium 4 HT 2.93GHZ together there rated at 4.39GHZ my motherboard/chipset is a Intel I915P)

Sure its two or one showing as two because of the HyperThreading. And the 915P is the boards chipset not the model number.

sorry my motherboard is a Intel 82801FB and I dont know if its HT or not im like 90% sure its not.

915P is the Northbridge and the 82801FB is the Southbridge chipset, there should be a model number somewhere on it, you can just pop the side off to see if its a two socket board and the model number.

They do not get added together, it's just like mult-core processes. You have two physical processors which operate at 2.93Ghz each, they cannot run together on the same process, therefor you cant have a 4.39Ghz CPU.

And what do you mean you supposedly have two? Are you referring to what the task manager or apps like dxdiag say? It will say two processors because your CPU has HT, which simulates a second core.
