    If you havent yet, check out my thread in this forum (over genuine 20,000 hits already):

    Windows XP Multi Core config and Benchmarks

    This should help your to optimize your dual core system. This guide also recommends a number of benchmarks to compared before and after scores... PCMark05, SuperPI and 3DMark06 should be the ones to really see the score differences.

    3Dmark06 is probably the only one of the current benchmarks that have multithread support. So the "CPU Score" will definitely have an increase after the hotfix gets done. The 3Dmark score will also increase, but nominally.

    You can get Notebook Hardware Control to check the speed, battery, and CPU temp of your system.

    I personally like RMCLOCK for my speed settings. It gives you a nice interface with lots of power for settings p-states as well as throttling. Utility also gives you a replacement battery meter, and a couple other nice things.

    Give this a try if you want an alternative to NHC.

    A quick and dirty way to see your cpu is speed is to right click on My Computer, and select Properties. Should be right there for you to see.
