    I have an IBM Intellistation M Pro that has 2 Pentium II 350MHz processors. Also, it is running Windows .net server 2003. I noticed that it was running a little slow. I went into the system properties and found that it is only coming up as 350 MHz. In the task manager, under CPU, I have a 2 graphs showing, 1 for each CPU. When running Intel's CPU ID Utility, it shows 2 CPUs. How can I really make sure which one is right?

    it's coming up as 350mhz because EACH cpu is running at 350mhz.

    as for the slowness, i highly recommend you to heavily tweak your computer, since it's only 350mhz. in case you didn't know, 350+350 doesn't equal 700mhz, but in actuality a more powerful 350mhz processor. in order to take advantage of both processors, though, you'd want to make sure your apps are compatible with SMP or possibly multithreading. hope this kinda helps.
