CPU ID Issue

[lynspyre]

I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 but when i look in About This Mac it shows me
Processor Intel Core 2 Solo
Numbers of processors 1
Numbers of cores 1

I think this could affect performance. Am i right?. If it foes it, how can i fix it?.

Thanks in advance.

It is just cosmetic and it goes with the hardware theme you select. Try run multibeast and select different imac model under theme corresponding to core2Duo CPU

Ok, i'll try and see.
BTW, what should i do if i get KP when changing definition?. I'm really tired of restoring with Time Machine every time i got KP.

boot using iboot if that happens again

which version of SL are you using?
i was under the impression that the kernel determines whether the cpu model name is recognised, not the definition?

Believe me, when that happend iBoot doesn't make it boot, neither using -v -f -x flags.

I'm using SL 10.6.7. I was going to update to 10.6.8, but i don't have a DSDT configured, and i don't have an linux ISO to extract mine.
