I have been working with a MBP 17" with the 2.12 Core Duo processor. XP 32 bit Professional.
Since the begining I have noticed that sometimes this machine boots into XP and seems to just be way too hot, even with the new software with inputremapper, it gets hot.
Recently I downloaded the rightmark CPU utility, the only one I have found that can read the temps on the processor under XP. While I was running this morning, I noticed that the temps were really hot and 78 degrees C and the processor (NOTE processor) was running at 100%. I found this strange as I wasn't doing anything on the machine to take 100% but the temps assured me that the processor was active. I also wondered why I only saw one processor. I opened the XP task Manger and looked and sure enough it also only saw one processor, it was only showing the processor running at around 10%, which I didn't think was correct due to the heat being generated.
My point is XP had loaded up and was only showing one processor! Rightmark also only saw one. This is the first time I have noticed this and will start checking more often, but it sure tells me that something is wrong since XP will do this. I rebooted the machine by shutting it down totally and it came up with both processors showing, rightmark showed both and they were running at around 10% with no activity on the machine. The temps were also way down where they should be.
Net, this machine will boot up, into XP with only one processor showing, and that processor running at 100%. I am not sure if this happens on the Apple side or not as it's harder to tell information on both processors. I have the intel duo core software to run on the mac side, but can't tell from it status on both processors.
I just wanted to point this out and see if anyone else had noticed this.
