I just set up a new system using the P5B Plus and a q6600 processor.
It appears that it is only using one of the cores on the processor.
Windows task manager only shows one window. The system runs slower
than the old 2.6G processor it was supposed to replace. Is the
processor bad or did I do something stupid in the setup or bios? I
did upgrade to the new bios 604, which didn't help.

Disable ACPI 2.0
