I installed the processor.prefpane correctly and it shows up in my syspref and menu bar, but I can't change the cores to any other than the standard 8 my machine has. I'm thinking I have an old version of the processor.prefpane because it's telling me I have a "Intel Pentium III Processor" when I really have a Quad-core Intel Xeon, running Leopard 10.5.8. Here's a screenshot:

An old version wouldn't explain it. No Mac has ever shipped with a P3, and the only Macs ever to use Pentium at all were the developer models loaned out during the switchover, which had P4s.
 
Ya I had one of those dev kits.

OP: when you say processor.prefPane are you talking about the one that comes with the Developer stuff? Or is that a non-Apple app ?

I don't think there's even any Intel CPU that is a quad 3Ghz Pentium III chip.
 
I wonder if there is one "floating around"... I doubt it TBH.

Maybe.. just maybe... I can get a P4 3.6 GHz fit inside a G5 enclosure. :D

Man, wouldn't it be so cool to own the Dev Kit P4 Mac.... *drool*
