Hi people,

 

Under System Profiler, I get this reading:

 

 

Machine Name: Mac

Machine Model: ACPI

CPU Type: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+

Number Of CPUs: 1

CPU Speed: 2.2 GHz

L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB

CPU Features: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 HTT SSE3

Memory: 2 GB

Bus Speed: 400 MHz

Boot ROM Version: F7 (Award Software International, Inc.)

 

 

Is this normal for my dualcore CPU ?

 

The Activity Monitor shows 2 Columns for CPU Usage and my Xbench Score is around 125.

Remember, that is correct. You only have one CPU, with 2 cores.

 

Intel chips can be detected by system profiler as multicore - In which case you get a second line

 

Number of cores:

 

Or something like that. Since you say the activity monitor shows multip[le graphs, the system is detecting the second core, and assigning it properly - It's just the inferior software System profiler.
