Dual Core Processors

Hi there; I have a Pentium T3200 Dual Core. Should I be able to switch from each processor & how do I

do the switch ? Where do I switch from? My specs say "Dual-Core inside" I'm told that I should be able to use both

processors. Please tell me how to do this procedure.

Thks, Ron

Hi when it says dual core, it means you have 1 processor with two cores. You cannot activate these (although on some motherboards it is possible to disable one) the processor will be using both cores natively. You can check this by opening task manager and under performance you should see 2 CPU history graphs, which means both cores are being used.
