lingam Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 As the topic had stated, I just got on a successful install with everything working on my PC So the question now is, how do I check how many cores are active on this OS X? How do I make all cores active if only one core is working now?? I'm using : iDeneb 10.5.7 Chameleon v2 Qoopz kernel M3A78-EM motherboard with AMD Phenom X3 8450 processor Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/194411-how-to-checkmake-my-processor-amd-phenom-x3-8450-run-on-all-cores/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
