The Home edition of Windows XPthe edition that came with most machines home users bought from the likes of Dell and HP, before Windows Vistasupports only one processor.
This means if you want to install more than one processor and you run Windows XP Home, you may need to switch to Professional, or upgrade Windows to a newer version with support for multiple processors.
If you want to use two processors, Windows XP Professional is the way to go. While this advanced program cannot run more than two processors, this is an improvement over Home. Note that, because dual-core processors count as a single processor, you could theoretically have four cores with this license or even eight, if you are willing to buy two quad-core processors.

Thread 4 Thread LWP : 0 0xb7f8a in?? Check how many cores your processor has. If you have a multi-core processor, the number of cores will not be displayed in this window.
Multiple cores does not necessarily mean the programs will run faster, but it can be a big boost for programs designed for it. Click Yes if prompted to check your drivers. Find the "Processor" entry in the System tab. If your computer has multiple cores, you'll see the number in parentheses after the speed e.
This will let you know how many cores you have. Each core runs at approximately the same speed there will always be very minor variations. Method 2. Click the Apple menu and select "About This Mac". Find the "Processor" entry in the "Overview" tab.
This will display the advertised speed of your processor. Note that this may not be the speed your CPU is actually running at. Download the Intel Power Gadget. This free utility will monitor your CPU and report the actual operating speed. You can download it for free from here.
Download and install Prime If you want to see the maximum speed of your processor, you'll need to put a heavy load on the CPU. One of the most popular ways to do this is by using a program called Prime You can download it for free from mersenne. Unzip the program and then double-click the DMG file to install it. Select "Just Stress Testing" when you start the program. Prime95 is designed to calculate prime numbers, and in doing so will max your CPU out. Find your processor speed.
The second graph in the gadget will display your processor speeds. The "Package Frq" is your current speed based on what your processor is working on. This will likely be lower than the "Base Frq", which is the advertised speed of the processor. Method 3. Open the terminal. Most tools available on Linux don't show the actual speed that the processor is running at. Intel has released a tool called turbostat that you can use to check. You'll need to install it manually through the terminal. Note the version number that is displayed X.
XX-XX linux-cloud-tools-X. Replace X. XX-XX with the version number from the previous step. Enter your admin password if prompted. This will install the MSR module that you'll need to run the tool.
