Proliant 1600R 6/450 Multiprocessor HAL

[George Rayer]

I took the plunge, updated the driver to "MPS Multiprocessor PC", rebooted, changed the APIC mode to "Full Table (Mapped)", and, after the usual pause, WIndows started and there were the 2 Processors!

I notice that they more or less keep in line with each other, performance-wise, ie the graphs are approximately the same.

Is there any way to find out which Apps are using which Processor, as task manager is a bit light on this?

I forgot to say Thank you to everybody - it gave me confidence to go ahead.

Today I got this information:

Full Table:
optimized mode. BIOS code for APIC table initialization written by Compaq/HP

Full Table mapped:
compatibility mode. BIOS code for APIC table initialization provided by intel.

Full table mapped should be used for troubleshooting purposes. Performance with 'full table' is better.

Thanks Martin. I'll switch to Full Table at the next opportunity.
