    Hey gang, shouldn't I be seeing two CPU's on the task manager?? I only just noticed this... Is there something I forgot to install??

    If I click View => CPU History in Task Manager, there's only one option there: One Graph per CPU

    By the way, I'm using an SZ3VP with Vista Business; two graphs appeared in XP Pro. CPU-Z shows just one core here. Whats up with that?

    In the Task Mananger, go to 'View,' then 'CPU History,' and finally, click 'One Graph Per CPU.'

    Really?

    That's rather odd.

    I've never seen that on any system, unless it had 1 core or 1 CPU...

    Aha, fixed the problem.... It would seem that updating the BIOS actually managed to disable the 2nd core... so, I entered the BIOS again and selected Reset to Default Values, and now its working magically. Just FYI.
