I've been running WinXP Pro as a guest os on two Linux hosts.
Recently I upgraded to VBox 3.0 and attempted to make the guests
recognize the dual core cpu's.

On an Ubuntu 9.04 laptop with an Intel T7700 cpu, I simply made
the "2 cpu's" selection and when restarted the Windows task manager
showed the typical separate performance graphs for each core.

On a Fedora 9 desktop with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ I tried the
same procedure and but the task manager still shows a single graph.
In the Windows system info and device manager the cpu is shown
correctly as a dual core model.  But not the task manager.

cpu-flags are suitable I believe: fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 ht syscall nx mmxext fxsr_opt rdtscp lm 3dnowext 3dnow pni cx16 lahf_lm cmp_legacy svm extapic cr8_legacy 3dnowprefetch

apic is enabled

both systems are 64-bit capable, but I'm running all OS in 32-bit mode

The Fedora system is running the PAE kernel in order to see all 4GB
of memory.

Any ideas?

Jon
