sevenstars_okawari Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Please advise me how to make sure whether my CPU is working as Core Duo or as Single Core. Actually my PC couldn't boot unless I enter "CPUS=1". Otherwise it keeps rebooting. But after boot, open "About this Mac", then it says "AMD 3800 Athlon 64x2" In that case it boots with Core Duo? or Single Core? My CPU...「Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 3800+ SocketAM2 BOX (65W)」 MB...「GIGABYTE GA-MA-69G-S3H」 Regards, Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57635-make-sure-whether-its-woking-core-duo-properly-or-just-single/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

voxxdigital Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Just check for the number of processor cores in System Profiler (about this mac - > more info...). Just don't confuse "Core Duo" - which is the trademark name of an Intel processor - with "Dual Core" - which means any processor (including your AMD and the Intel Core Duo) with two processing cores.

Información del hardware: Nombre del equipo: Macintosh Modelo de ordenador: ACPI Tipo de CPU: Intel® Core2 CPU 6420 @ Velocidad de la CPU: 2.14 GHz Número de núcleos: 2 Caché de nivel 2 (por CPU): 4 MB Características de la CPU: FPU VME DE PSE TSC MSR PAE MCE CX8 APIC SEP MTRR PGE MCA CMOV PAT PSE36 CLFSH DS ACPI MMX FXSR SSE SSE2 SS HTT TM SSE3 MON DSCPL VMX EST TM2 MNI CX16 TPR Memoria: 2 GB Velocidad del bus: 1.07 GHz but the question is still on the air... How can make sure that the 2 CPU's are working well? In my case it seems that just 2 cores of ONE CPU works, or maybe just 1 core of BOTH CPU's are working? I appreciatte any help about this matter, it's the last step to finish on my hackintosh to get full performance. Thanks.

snackole Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Use Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/57635-make-sure-whether-its-woking-core-duo-properly-or-just-single/#findComment-420796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinet Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Use Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. What process name with? System UI server? loginwindow? kextd? Finder? coreservicesd? Sorry, here I'm lost.

Thanks. um, you have only one cpu with 2 cores, there is no way you can have 2 cpu-s with only 1 core each. use the activity monitor. if it shows 2 bars for cpu load then you have 2 cores working. as simple as that.

Thanks Zoig, Yes I have 2 activity bars, so I have working just with 1 CPU. It's possible to enable both of them for full throttle?
