    CPUZ shows only one core of my E5200 processor, whereas in the Device Manager (Windows XP), windows ecognizes both cores. I also have another pc with the same windows installation and an E8500 processor. That one is correctly displayed in cpu-z.
    In the BIOS of my Asus Commando motherboard (E5200), there are no settings that relate to disabling one of the cores, and the processor is properly displayed as far as I see (count 2).
    See attachments.
    Any ideas to this problem?

    Regards,

    Actually, when I look in the device manager of my E85oo processor pc, under Computer I get ACPI Multiprocessor PC.
    Why don't I see that ACPI description in the device manager of the E5200.
    Does that mean I have to reinstall everything, or can I fix this somehow?

    From my understanding and experience with that particular program, it seems to not be compatible with all CPUs, contrary to what one would think. try another program and see if you get the same result

    Actually, I reinstalled windows, now it's fine. For some reason I had the wrong image :\
