Thats how it should work. @Frits: Do you have any energymanagement software enabled? Check this entry in the ms knowledgebase, we had to apply this patch to some machines in order to use dual core cpus at 100% load. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896256/EN-US/old_bill

All the items in Power Options properties --> Powerschemes -->Home/Office Desk are set to Never.
I have read the article in the ms knowledgebase, but I don't know what to do with it. But indeed I think that some setting is wrong in my pc because when I try to run a game example in Beyond Virtual, it runs verry slow frame by frame. On the other hand, I have a game that runs so fast that I have to shut down one processor to run the game at normal speed.
Any advice??

I don't have a disk for the mainboard (pc is a fu@#$&g Dell). Btw, your pictures of the taskmanager looks different then mine. Maybe because I have XP Professional SP2? Regards, Frits

@Frits: What Dell system do you exactly have?

As your system has Intel Enhanced SpeedStep technology inbuild, are you sure you have turned it off in the BIOS? From the BIOS updates of your system at the Dell page, there seemed to be a problem with it if you check the version history. http://support.euro.dell.com/support/dow...WW1&osl=EN#old_bill
