Hi,
Can someone please explain this one to me?
When I run an extremely CPU-intensive task, such as recalculating a vast Excel spreadsheet, the CPU graph in Task manager sits on 50% not 100%.
Does this mean that half of my CPU capacity is not being used, or is it just a quirk of the Task Manager display?
Also, some forums have suggested to me that I should see two CPU graphs in TM, but I only see one. Which is correct?
Info:
Device Manager says the ACPI multiprocessor driver is OK. NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS env variable is correctly set to 2. I'm running Win XP Home on a Gigabyte 8KNXP MB with latest BIOS, P4 2.8GHz, 2GB RAM
