    Hi,

    In the BIOS on my Latitude D630 there is an option for the CPU to be seen as a single processor or as two processors. The CPU is a T7500 Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz processor.

    The BIOS info states that some applications may run faster when it is seen as two processors. Can anyone give me any insight into what these options actually mean in terms of PC performance ? Also, what types of application would be impacted by the single processor or two processor options ?

    Rgds & Thx

    most newer software are written to utilise multicore, so you'll see an advantage, there are no disadvantages as far as i know. its probably there for compatibility or legacy reasons

    If you disable that option, you will shut down one core of the processor I'm pretty sure. I'd say leave it alone.
