Because Windows 7 has been running well on my computer, I have installed it on my next door neighbours computer so he can try it. He has a Q9550 processor and it works well in Vista with Task Manager showing 4 cores.
When we tried Windows 7 it only shows 2 cores, even though this is a quad core CPU (not dual core).
If the computer boots back into Vista it shows all 4 and it works fine, so I don't think it's a hardware problem. Updating the BIOS didn't change a thing either.
