Two Displays, Two CPU's

[mladner]

I have a PowerColor ATI Redeon X300 SE PCI Express 64 Bit Video Card. In my
System Information program, it shows that I have two video cards. The same
with my P4 630 CPU. On the front of the box the card came in, it says;
256mb Hyper Memory with128mb VRAM. I want to use all the processing power
of the card and the CPU. Is there a way around this. Also I have WindowsXP
Home (32bit) with an Asus P5GD2-X Series Motherboard with 1MB DDR2 Memory.

Thank you;
David

A way around what? From what I've understood of your description, you've
outlined a perfectly well working ATI graphics setup and a perfectly well
working hyperthreaded processor.

Reporting two graphics cards (is one labelled "secondary"?) and 2 processors
is perfectly normal on quite a lot of modern systems. Confusing, sure, but
normal.

I have the same thing, the 2 CPUs is because of the hyperthreading and
is because of the turbo cache. It least that is what I was told.
