# of procs

[Guest Andre]

Windows 2003 x64 sp1

 

Without rebooting, how can I tell how many procs my box has? Task manager

shows 4, system info shows 4, and I "think" I have 2 dual-core procs. I

need to know for sure, without bouncing the box. I also want to make sure

that 1 dual-core hyperthreaded proc doesn't show up as 4 procs.

 

Thanks, Andre

Re: # of procs

 

Well, 2 (CPUs) x 2 (Cores each) = 4 (Processors)

 

So if you have 2 dual-core CPUs, both the Device Manager and

Task Manager will show 4 CPUs, 1 for each core.

 

What's bothering you about what you see?

Re: # of procs

 

What bothers me is that in Win2003 x32, when I go to Control Panel/System,

it tells me (correctly) how many procs I have. When I do the same in

Win2003 x64 it just shows one proc. So, I was hoping there would be a way

to know for sure. I don't want to assume it's really a dual-proc box only

to find that it's a single proc with dual-cores and hyperthreading turned

on - and it shows up as 4 procs in task manager.

Re: # of procs

 

What does it tell you in the Device Manager in x64? I can't

answer about hyperthreading, but I do know that with dual

core CPUs each core is shown as an individual entry under

'Processors' in the device manager.

 

In the Task Manager you may have to click on the

'Performance' tab and then pull down 'View' and 'CPU

History' and then select 'One Graph per CPU' if that option

is available to you.

 

Are there any drivers that need to be installed for your CPU(s)?

Device mgr shows 4 procs. Device mgr also doesn't show that any drivers

need to be installed for the procs.

 

I guess I'll assume there are 2 procs. Thanks for your help.

Additionally, your CPU is identifying itself, and it's speed, on the

Boot-Screen when you start the machine - google what it says and know for

sure!

Re: # of procs

 

One thing - most of the dual-core Xeons no longer do hyperthreading. (and

even if they did, I doubt I'd turn it on.) So, since Device Mgr shows the

exact model of processor, you can verify that as well.

Re: # of procs

 

Hello,

What does msinfo32.exe show you?

I am running Vista right now but this is what it shows me.

Processor AMD Opteron Processor 250, 2393 Mhz, 1 Core(s), 1 Logical

Processor(s)

Processor AMD Opteron Processor 250, 2393 Mhz, 1 Core(s), 1 Logical

Processor(s)

 

This shows the number of cores and the number of logical processor(s) for

each installed processor(Socket) in the system

 

 

Thanks,

Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Re: # of procs

 

In Server, I'm not getting that level of detail. I'm getting just the # of

logical processors.
