Dual Core Support in Windows XP SP3

I have a Windows XP SP3 machine that appears as a single base in the Task Manager. The processor is an Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU E7400 2.80 GHz. I thought that this issue was supposed to have been solved with SP3, but I do not.

The computer was built with a clean Windows Home edition, then put installation upgraded to SP3.

I have searched the net and did all the steps recommended-

Make sure the box in msconfig is disabled

Check the BIOS for MaxCPUid settings

etc.

However, nothing works, and it appears the version of Windows running is indeed one version of simple core based on the desription in the Device Manager.

How can question - I get this machine to accept two hearts?

Hmmm, if you have searched the web and tried everything and nothing works, then nothing probably will never.

A quick search of 20 seconds on my part raised the following article which describes a 'hot - fix"Microsoft for a very similar sound problem.  I can assume that you have already tried, but in case you don't have it, it's here:

"The number of physical hyperthreading-enabled processors or the number of physical multicore processors is incorrectly reported in Windows XP"

  • What drivers are needed for windows 7 recognize a system with 4 processors, dual-core?

    I have a HP ProLiant DL580 G4 with the following CPU specifications:

    Four dual-core processors Intel Xeon 7140 M. All of them identical, but the specifications can be found here

    I'm running Windows 7 ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise, but the recognition of all the 4 physical processors is a MUST.

    I can run windows on it very well, but he acknowledges that 2 of the 4 physical processors.

    It seems it would be a driver issue, as Device Manager shows two devices having the status of 'unknown '.

    If it is, in fact, a driver problem, does Microsoft have all the drivers available, or shall I seek third party?

    I would appreciate any advice you can offer. Thank you!

    I hope that someone will know better, but (from the search), so it seems that it only supports two:

    "Computers with multiple processors (CPU):
    Commercial servers, workstations and other PC high-end may have multiple physical processors. Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and integral allow two physical processors, offering the best performance on these computers. Windows 7 Starter, Home Basic and Home Premium edition recognizes only a single physical processor. "

    Hi JamBoard,

    It is possible, that you need to install the drivers for the controller.  You can get them from here:

  • What happens if there is multi-core or Dual-Core coupling processors to the top with Windows 7 Home Premium?

    So if I have a Windows7 Home Premium 64 - bit operating system and I use a processor dual core (Intel Dual Core e5300 CPU) are fully compatible or how they work together, given the fact that Windows 7 recognizes that one of the two processors? Playback of the system is expressed in the fact that it has two current processors. Both processors work simultaneously to form a combined data stream is a dormant or they turn on and off opposing to another so that each works half the time? Many scenarios as possible, but I would like to know... the real answer as to what needs to be changed eventually to bring together a system more fluid? My main question is the operating system and the processor may be an incompatibility problem that has not yet been addressed? I can't find any answer in the Center Compatabiity of Windows 7 or anywhere else. Or is the limitation of windows 7 Home Premium and only be able to support an unfounded processor see the fact that there are many systems that are in work today with these components. ?

    Hey Randy,

    If your system has two separate physical processors (not hearts) and you are running Windows 7 Home Premium, the second processor is completely ignored. It turns on and turn his fans, but it does not all rights for the computer. Windows 7 Home Premium will not take advantage of a single processor.

    However, if you have a single physical processor with multiple cores, Windows 7 64-bit will benefit from up to 256 cores. It is very probably the type of machine that you have because it is quite rare to have multiple processors co-location in a workstation computer.

    In this scenario, Windows will use two cores for separate tasks. Applications will be evenly distributed between the carrots, unless the application has been written to take advantage of multiple cores. The two hearts are turned on and both are used when the system is running.

    You can check if Windows has recognized the two hearts looking Manager of the tasks of your system:

    1. Open the Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar, and then click Start Task Manager.
    2. Click the performance tab.

    The top two graphs show how much CPU is used, as well at the moment and for a few minutes. If the CPU usage history graph seems shared, your computer has multiple processors, a single dual-core CPU or both.

    Windows 7 system requirements also go in a little more detail on how many windows cores/processors can take in charge:

  • Firefox supports Windows XP SP3?

    Now that we are in April 2015, Will Firefox provide some updates and fixes for Windows XP SP3 users? Google made Chrome support XP until April 2015, I cannot afford to buy a new computer and am looking for a new browser for my Windows XP SP3 laptop.

    Firefox is safe for the WinXP, using the same code in future versions of WIndows use, but because Windows XP does not receive security patches that Firefox is also safe that WinXP is safe. Slippery slope when you use an EOL operating system - and the web browser will not "fix" gaps with WinXP as well as's safety.

  • Update Windows XP SP3 on a Dual Boot System w/Vista

    Hello, I have a partition of windows xp and windows vista in my laptop Acer. (Pre-installed Vista and XP as a secondary operating system).
    My questions are:

    > Is it OK to upgrade Windows XP SP2 to SP3 of Windows even, it is placed in a dual boot?
    > Don't install SP3 will be erase all content of Windows XP?
    > Is affected the partition of Windows Vista if I download Windows XP SP3 of XP SP2 Partition?
    > If I download the SP3 for Windows XP in the Microsoft.com site, it needs to be bootable and recorded in a CD or just run the installer from the hard disk automatically after installation?

    Thanks to all in advance!

    You're off topic of the Forum, you have published, which is dedicated to the beta Version of Microsoft Security Esentials

    However, I moved the yoru post.

    You can update to SP3 on a system XPSP2 dual boot Vista residence. You can not install XP * after * Vista for a Dual Boot system unless you use a 3rd Boot Manager part.
    Run the update to SP3 does not erase anything, it updates the XP system components.
    There will be no impact to your Vista installation on your system to dual-boot PC.
    SP3 is an update. It downloads an installation program analyzes your installation of XP and downloads the bits necessary to update to SP3 then install them after you have saved the files it will replace. You should be able to get SP3 easily by going to Windows Update in XP.

  • Non - VT dual core 64-bit processor support

    I'm fighting with the VMWare compatibility and in general matrix processor for ESXi 4.1 needs. It will install (in box running a thin VM) on the non - VT dual core 64-bit processor as an Intel E2200 with 2 GB of RAM? Or can I * need * to install VT?

    Can I install it on the system without head the serial console?

    Thank you!

    Welcome to the community,

    It will install (in box running a thin VM) on the non - VT dual core 64-bit processor as an Intel E2200 with 2 GB of RAM? Or can I * need * to install VT?

    You can install ESXi, but you will not be able to run the 64-bit without VT support clients. With only 2 GB of RAM, you will be able to install the OS and run it, but it will not be too much RAM left for the virtual machine that you want to run.

    Can I install it on the system without head the serial console?

    What type of console is not sure. As long as you can start the installation from the CD or set the ISO as a virtual CD, you should be able to install it. You need to try. If this does not work there are other options. For example, to prepare a USB stick with ESXi, attach it to the system and the boot USB hypervisor.

    Whether or not it is possible to install and run ESXi on your system, depends not only of the CPU. There are other requirements for the material too. As the controller of disk, network cards,...
