Built new i7 Setup - Wierd problem

[Kadji.Kahn]

I just built a new core i7 rig:

Core i7 920
Asus P6T
6Gb (3x2) Crucial memory
700w OCZ PSU
XFX GTX 275
Smilidon Case (1x120 fan @120cfm, other 80mm fans, enough air flow that I can suck a gum wrapper up on the front and side of the case, so I know I've got positive air pressure on the inside)

/flame suit on

Couldn't get my install of XP Home to recognize more than one core. I tried this on a freshly formated partition. Yes, I know XP's 32bit physical address extension prevents more than 4gb of ram being recognized. I just wanted to get something up and running on my new rig. I do have 64bit Vista Home Premium on order. Task manager only show one core, and there's only one instance of core i7 under device manager.

Has anybody ever run into this?

I never knew you could run into that particular problem with Windows XP Home. Then again, I stuck with Windows XP Pro.

Crucial makes power supplies now? Which model (number) do you have?

Sorry I must be hitting the pipe hard this morning. Its an OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ700MXSP.

Have you installed the latest chipset drivers?

As far as I know... I couldn't find anything on the Intel web site newer than my disc that came with the mobo, and windows update didn't shownaything new either.

did I miss something?
