<td>Hello, <p>I recently bought the AMD Phenom II X6 1055t CPU. I installed it in my ASUS M3A78-EM motherboard. I have 4GB DDR2 ram at 335mhz frequency. My motherboard should be compatible as it this CPU is in the support list and I downloaded the right BIOS version (2401).<br>I run windows xp (32-bit) home edition. FSB:DRAM is 3:5.</p><p>When I ran CPU-Z, I noticed that only 1 core was active. My computer didnt get any faster too, I still cant play black ops for example although I easily meet the system requirements.</p><p><a href=”https://web.archive.org/web/20160621123606/http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1476901″ target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.p…</a></p><p>How can this happen? Is my computer power supply too low?<br></p></td>
I only have DDR2 333… Does this make me unable to use all 6 cores?
Can and should I make it run faster?
EDIT:
According to the ASUS website my motherboard doesnt support DDR2 333. But I have been using this memory for over 2 years now.
Dear Rieno,
I have the same problem after upgraded my CPU from X2 cores to X6 core.
The solution is listed below:
Step 1: goto msconfig (Run >>> msconfig)
Step 2: Boot >>> Advanced Options
Step 3: Unclick Number of processors
Step 4: Reboot
The solution was posted a few comments back. You have to upgrade to either XP 64 bit or windows 7 64bit to take advantage of the 6 cores. However as stated by others that does not mean that Black Ops will run faster with 6 cores recoginized. First off your memory is slower than recommended by Asus and you don’t mention as to how much memory you have but you should run at least 4 gig which again would only be recoginized by a 64bit version of windows otherwise it will only recoginize 3 gig. I had your motherboard with 4 gig of memory, and a quad core 2.8 AMD and 2- amd 4870 video cards in crossfire. Black ops lagged most of the time and I was very unhappy even though all other games worked great. I then upgraded to a 6 core 1055T, 8 gigs of ram, same video cards and a new M4289gtd pro/usb3 and Black Ops fly’s. Even though I upgrade 3 components I believe the mother board you have was the botttleneck. However before you go out and purchase a new motherboard, I would change from 32 bit to 64 and upgrade you memory. Hope this helps.
