    I have a Compaq Evo W6000 with 2 x 2.4Ghz Proc with hyperthreading turned on.

    The system control panel shows these processors as 4.

    When I run Task Manager it only see 1 ?

    Is this right or have I failed to check something :confused:

    Hi - Welcome to the Board :)

    Try this :

    Taskmanager > Performance Tab

    View Menu > CPU History > One Graph per CPU

    I done that, but it's still only showing the performance for 1 CPU.

    I know it can show 2 graphs but I cannot find it anywhere.:mad:

    Did that,

    I have a EVO W600 with 2 x 2.4Ghz Proc Hyperthreading enabled.

    During Boot Sequence the 4 Proc are shown,
    In Windows System Screen the 4 Proc are shown.

    In Windows Task Manager only 1 CPU is shown although 2 x 'svchost.exe' are shown as running.

    After reading about this it appears that my 'HAL' file is incorrect, rather than showing 'Compaq SystemPro Multiprocessor or 100% Compatible: Use for a Compaq Systempro computer', it is showing the generic ACPI Multiprocessor PC.

    I have tried to update the driver for this but am unable to find it as its not on my system.

    Can you point me in the right direction?

    Not really - this is out of my league :)

    Sounds like a Compaq specific problem - why not contact them ? - or look on any mobo or compaq CD that came with the PC.
