Mondoslug Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Please... Not sure if I worded that right. Mac Pro 2.66 came today...way happy so far. I fired up Pro Tools on the Mac side & very impressive results so I installed Boot Camp. Install went pretty well & opened up an XP PTLE session and where I had a choice of 4 processors on the Mac side I only see 2 on the XP side. I think I've seen something about this & have searched the various forums but having no luck yet. Any ideas? TIA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIA! probably has something to do with bootcamp i would imagine. apple hasn't released an update for bootcamp since the mac pro came out, not all the drivers are there. my guess is that bootcamp doesn't have support for 4 cores yet, it only enables one of the chips (2 cores). probably something to do with how bootcamp does the how bios thing, only shows up as two cores (cause all other macs only have up to 2).

Mondoslug Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 Thanks for the replys...I did install the Mac Drivers, maybe I'll do it again. Rollcage: there is an updated version of Boot Camp which fixed the slow SATA transfer thingie I believe. I'm gonna be bummed if I can't access all the cores. Nuendo is pretty smoking on the XP side if it's only 2 cores. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bliss Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 do you have the home version? i think it only supports 2 cpus. the professional version should work with 4 cpus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Korrupted Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Bliss is right. Home only supports 2 CPUs. You'll need to either purchase, or 'purchase' Professional. *note: I don't condone piracy. I was just listing possible options. :censored2:* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
