X2 4600Processor Question

[GlobalRegion256]

Just recently purchased a 4600 for Socket AM2

Here is the question

The X2 is dual core which means that there are two cores in one Im assuming, What i am trying to figure out is whether or not i need to activate something in order to have the whole potential of the cpu , or is it once you put in the cpu Inside the Motherboard thats all that is too it and dont have to set anything else up.

Dont bother with any of that stuff. if you just want to know if its working press crtl+alt+delete and goto performance. If the CPU chart has two side by side its working. The end
