How can I check on Windows Vista how many cores my computer has and if
it has bluetooth?
 
Click Start, type: devmgmt.msc, and hit enter. The "Processors" folder will
have multiple 'core' devices listed there. Bluetooth has an entry of its
own.

ty very much.

it only says Intel(R) 530 @ 1.73GHz, so it is single then? what does
530 @ 1.73 mean? what is 530, is 1.73GHz the actual processor speed?

if there are multiple processors will it explicitly say so?

Hold down the Windows key and the Pause/Break key simultaneously to open
up the Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System window.  Under
processors it should list 2 CPU if you have 2 cores.  (Also, if you
click on the link in the left pane to go to Device Manager, then under
Processors it should have 2 entries if you have a dual core computer.)
As for Bluetooth devices, if that entry is in Device Manager, your pc
supports bluetooth, although none may be installed.  You can go to this
Microsoft page to see how to add bluetooth devices to your system:

'Windows Vista Help: Set up a Bluetooth enabled device'

It actually says:

Processor: Intel(R) Celeron(R) 530 CPU @ 1.73GHz 1.73GHz

why does it say 1.73GHz twice there?


it only lists one under device manager processors
