    Hi,

    first, sorry for my english :p

    I'm using Rainmeter to see the space left from my HDD and my cpu/ram. But now i've got a brand new laptop and I have 2 CPU (Intel Core 2 Duo) but Rainmeter only show the 1st CPU.

    I've try to edit the skin template but i've found nothing to show the CPU #2.

    I've try something like this:

    [MeterCPU1Percent]
    MeasureName=MeasureCPU
    Meter=STRING
    X=125
    Y=-15
    StringStyle=BOLD
    FontSize=7
    StringAlign=CENTER
    Postfix=%
    NumOfDecimals=1
    AntiAlias=1

    [MeterCPU2Percent]
    MeasureName=MeasureCPU2
    Meter=STRING
    X=125
    Y=-15
    StringStyle=BOLD
    FontSize=7
    StringAlign=CENTER
    Postfix=%
    NumOfDecimals=1
    AntiAlias=1

    No success. :(

    But first, does Rainmeter can support 2 cpu? And if yes, what I need to insert in the skin source to show both CPU?

    Your English is great, don't apologise. :)

    Don't know if this will help but if you download it, you can of course either just use it to measure the 2 cpus or open it in notepad and have a gander.

    I will check that... i've see in few research that I can separate the 2 CPU if I using the PrefMon DLL... but no more info about that.

    I keep looking arround and I will check right away the skin you link me.

    You have 1 CPU, not two, it just happens to have to processing cores, which isn't equivelant to 2 CPUs.

    I'm using the blackglass rainmeter skin, right now it monitors only one core, does anyone know the code to monitor two cores using the same skin?
