Hey All...

Now, I have been using various iterations of Sandra for a couple of years now, and I am now using 2004. There are a couple of warning messages I got in the Performance Tune-Up Wizard, as well as the Mainboard Information section that have been bugging me for a couple of months.

1 - CPU&Bios Information/Performance Tune UP - Warning 2533 - Disabled Host Controllers are present. Check BIOS Settings. Where can I check this in the BIOS, and what could they be referring to? USB? IDE? I am not up on Host Controllers. Could this be related to the fact that Sandra believes there are 2 CPUs, where there is only 1?

2 - Mainboard/CPU&Bios Information - CPU1 Temperature - Ever since I have used Sandra, it believes I am running a multiple processor unit, and give me two CPU readings. Now, CPU2 is accurate, but then it has default CPU1 readings for a CPU that is not there. Is there any way to get rid of (configure Sandra) this annoying little message, as I am not running dual cpus.

3 - Mainboard Information - Warning 2540 - No APIC detected for MP System? What does this mean?

Now, I know of Sandra's wierdness when it comes to certain things, so part of me wants to just ignore them, but I thought I would ask to see if this is something anyone else has encountered within Sisoft Sandra?

By the way, I am running P4 2.4(b) 533MHZ w/ Gigabyte GA-8SQ800 mobo.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
