Hello everyone.

I just noticed after a software update that my X1000 has three CPUs. It must have been activated by later software. Unfortunately it is is just sitting idle. Be good to enable it. As a side note I have Firefox running and although I only have about 30 tabs open it's only lightly taxing the system. My X1000 is the only computer I use that barely uses any RAM and no swap when Firefox is running.

Anyway. Here's a grab. Anyone know how to get that third CPU working?

Oh my God!
it is great! Such upgrades on other platforms are very expensive, and with X1000 you receive one more CPU probably free of charge!


Maybe after next upgrade there will be four CPUs? X1000 Quad, it sounds good.

P.S: are in lstopo also three CPUs?

I can dream! Those quad G5 Macs are making my X1000 look bad. Need to add another PA6T to my CPU cluster.

So I tried the lstopo command. Nice figure. Unfortunately it showed two cores.

Also lscpu. Same thing. Don't know where this magical 3rd core come from. Apart from being odd. It's also very efficient. When the system is loaded down with the other cores at max capacity it still runs at zero load.
