RE: New CPU help
That's weird. Sounds like you've got 2 P4 Processors or something?

You might want to open it up and take a look at the processor, make sure everything's right. If you don't resolve the problem, contact the company you bought it from.

The CPU might be 3.00 GHz but it's running at 1.5 GHz, check FSB, CPU Multiplier and voltages.

Hmm, not that much into CPU related things. But I know somebody with a HT CPU that has that too.

Press CTRL+ALT+DEL and go to the Performance tab. Do you have two CPUs listed there? That's HT in action as far as I know... Windows sees it as two 1500MHz CPUs. Nothing wrong with your system :).

ahh thanks. but before i enabled hyper threading in the BIOS settings, it was still like that and there was only one graph in the task manager
also the performance is not greatly different than my old processor and programs say im still running a 1.5ghz.
i got CPUCool to check my clock speed, and its around 1.5ghz.

I have a P4 HT 3 Ghz too, but my computer sees it as 2 processors running at 3 Ghz.

EDIT: Added an image

Maybe they sold you a 1.5 Ghz cpu instead of an 3 Ghz :S

I think your multiplier isn't set right.

ah ok. anyway to change it?
[Edit] i searched around, and it seems i have to do something with my mobo or the cpu itself, but i dont know what. and after more research, dell (the computer i have) computers cannot be overclocked. so is there anyway round increasing the FSB?

sorry to double post but i really want this problem sorted

i found a way to overclock dells but my PLL is not supported so the only way i can change the FSB is to flash my BIOS and put a new BIOS on. but how do i do this?
