bogomips        : 5345.79


Can somebody confirm this given information is valid and correct ?

I visited this: http://www.intel.com/products/processor/pentium_D/index.htm

Since all processors are dual core, I can imagine there's something wrong with the kernel information guessed for my CPU (this is not my computer, I'm at work now).

thanks in advance.

Melikes Intel's clear well-thought-out explanation of multicore processors...
Quote:
Dual-core processing allows for true simultaneous computing so multiple users can access and enjoy the same PC, even from different rooms with a home network and networked devices.
riiiiight, that's never been possible without multiple processors before... that's a hardware limitation, not a windows one... :roll:

But yeah, there's something wrong with your cpuinfo. Specifically, if it's dual core, it should be showing TWO CPUS. Have you enabled SMP?

Hi,

Nopes, SMP is not enabled... but I don't think this computer has 2CPU or 1CPU dual-core, in fact.

greetings

You have to enable smp in the kernel config to see both CPU cores. I dont know if this switch has an impact on cpuinfo too.
