What is with my CPU-Z Reading

cool let me know

brian I want you to boot off the XP CD, choose install and then the first thing you'll see at the bottom of the screen is the option to press F6 if you need to install a SCSI or RAID controller, as soon as you see this I want to to press F5, notice now the bottom of the screen will ask for f6 but you are going press F5, once you do, it should take you to the hal options and you should see the multiprocessor option there (ACPI Multiprocessor PC), choose it and then reboot back to desktop

after you choose "ACPI Multiprocessor PC" then yes you change the boot sequence

if after hal choice you can't exit and have to repair or install then choose repair, and we will just do the repair, since that would be the next step if hal does not work anyways.

just make sure ACPI is enabled before you start.

if F5does not work, try F7.

man my computer flyies now... no difference in FSX or FS9.   But loading programs... man :)

This is the kind of thread that really makes me happy that I chose to join the Digital Storm family.  I know the folks at DS must be pleased that we all work together so much to resolve issues.  The DS family is really unbelievable.  It would be hard to have people believe how everybody is so supportive. 

wow... after I did all this fixing, I ran 3DMark06 and bam... 16,963.   That's 2,346 more then when I first ran it back when the computer was build..  SWEET 

Actually now with a little OC to my GPUs... it's now 17,360
