    Quick question: Number of processors?

     
    I have a laptop with a Core 2 Due processor. If I went to msconfig, and changed the "Number of processors" from 1 (the default) to 2, would it make any type of difference? Any increase of speed? Specifically with games?

    There is typically no need to manually change the processor count, as both cores should be natively detected by Windows. Check Device Manager. It should list two processors as being present and active.
