CptnDipshit · 03-28-2002, 06:58 PM

Hi, I have a Tyan s2460 and am setting up a game server I bought 2 1gig Durons(they worked in the reviews) and when it posts it says;
-CPU type AMD Duron (tm) MP 1050 mhz
-1 Processor(s) detected

What gives, how do you get the othe CPU to show up?

Hmmm I never had any issue with getting 2 CPU's to show up, they just worked outta the box.

Some of the new Durons and XP's need a lil bridge cut... I forget which site had a write up on that. I will post if I remember.

it's the outer one on the L5's, you should have the two middle L5's joined, and thats it.

otherwise, does windows pick it up?

Trouble shoot it this way...

Boot with both in...

The boot with the two in opposite sockets.

Then boot with each chip, alone, in each socket.

That will eliminate any bad socket or bad chip issues.

Past that, I don't know what to tell ya.

could also be the bios. In the case of the thunder, 2.09 was the last version that let me use t-birds instead of MPs
