HI Just kicked in my new tires on a 920 i7..
----------------------------------------WCG Bionc Manager says i have 4 cores. Task Manager says 8. I select 100% of cpus and 100% time... as on all. I've heard people getting BIONC to indentify and run all 8 cores. What should I try next? [Edit 2 times, last edit by TKH at Jun 15, 2009 1:00:20 PM] |

Have you enabled hyperthreading ? Check your BIOS.

Yes Hyperthreading enabled.
----------------------------------------also tried changing max number of cpu's to 3 in bios from enabled to disabled. my task manager graph shows 8 cpus... i'm running of VISTA 64 ultimate and bionc 6.2.28 so it has the use at most x% percent of cpus and use at most x% of CPU time. I've got both at 100% [Edit 1 times, last edit by SixofNine at Jun 14, 2009 1:09:09 AM] |

Your task manager is correct.
----------------------------------------BOINC defaults to 4 cores, which will also work for four or less. In the BOINC advanced view, advanced tab, preferences, processor usage, near the bottom change it to On multiprocessor systems, use at most [8] processors. Others here with i7's are getting use out of all 8.
