[QUOTE="Dave_R, post: 1808508, member: 262783"] Curiouser & Curiouser Recently bought a 2nd hand MacBook Pro. Looked good & with no problems. "About this Mac" showed Model Name: MacBook Pro Model Identifier: MacBookPro6,2 Processor Name: Intel Core i7 Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz Number Of Processors: 1 Total Number Of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 4 MB Memory: 6 GB Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s Boot ROM Version: MBP61.005D.B00 SMC Version (system): 1.58f17 Serial Number (system): W80273RQAGW Hardware UUID: 21476C6E-6E40-5585-93A1-A14F80F7EEC0 Sudden Motion Sensor: State: Enabled Recently installed Temperature Monitor to look at core temperatures as I was running some batch processes 24/7 in the background. Looking at the system info in this app. I get something quite different which is shown in the attachment "Temp Mon Sys Info.png" ie 2 processors & 4 cores. Sure enough, I could download 4 background tasks - one for each core shown in the Temperature Monitor info. IE "About this Mac" is not showing the correct inormation about the installed processors. Also different info about the processor type. Strange, to say the least. [ATTACH=full]28962[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
