I have a dual core............

I have a dual core processor but in device manager under computer it
reads ACPI X64 BASESD PC should it not say ACPI X 64 multiprocessor pc
or somthing along thoses lines like xp did ?. Both cores are showing up
in task manager but i think vista has the wrong ACPI driver installed
maybe ? ive tryed an update from device manager says im all up 2 date.

Is this just a vista thing ? anyone else have the same under computer
in devie manager, is that normal ?

Mine says this as well. Everyone's device manger does. It is just
Vista thing, as you say

If you're really ill at ease about it, go down a few tiers and expan
'Processors'. If your proc is listed twice under here, all is wel
dual-core wise

Explain in more detail your statement : " ive tryed an update from device manager says im all up 2 date."

And rolling your eyes won't help, try writing a coherent post.

..

Jay22 the information stated in your device manager regarding your dual core
processor is correct.
