I'm just wondering what would cause CPU-Z to only see 1 core. Multicore is enabled in the BIOS. My Computer says I'm running 2 cores at 2.49GHz whereas CPU-Z says I have 1 core
at 1.197GHz...I installed all the drivers and stuff for Windows 7, and I didn't have this issue in
the other beta of Windows 7...

Perhaps it's the old version of CPU-Z that you're running with a newer processor. Try 1.49
 
Nope, Still get the same reading... :(
 
sounds about right. didnt realize the t9xxx series was out yet.
 
RMA la computadora!
it is most definately a power saving feature. Go ahead and run superpi and check on it while running it
also, post a 1m score with that cpu.
 
Hmmm.. try turning off all of the power saving features in your BIOS to see if that does anything. Strange problemo....

All the power saving features I could find I turned off...I'm absolutely puzzled here...
 
According to the multi and CPU speed, speedstep is deffinitely on.
 
I posted my SuperPi with XP in the thread but can't find the post...
I'm going to go fish through my BIOS again. I'll be back with a report.
 
actually, speedstep was disabled, which meant it would make it the lowest setting possible.
Thanx mate, musta skipped over it when i was looking at it haha
it now goes up to 2.5-2.6 so its all good.
