    Open task manager and see how much cpu % the core is using.

    it says im using 50 but in the window it says:

    I'm guessing you have a Dual Core. Windows sees each cores full load as 50%. Scroll up or down and you'll see the other core using the other 50.

    the only two there is the core at 50 and console at 0

    You are running and it looks healthy. The Turion X2 is a dual core and uses only one core for each instance of a non-SMP client. Are you using version 5.04?

    Multi-core processors can run as many of these clients as there are cores providing that you

    1. Have a separate installation and directory for each instance and
    2. Set a different Machine ID (1,2,3...) in the advanced options during the startup configuration of each instance.

    Yours can do 2 instances and if you were to run both at the same time you would use 100% of your processor.
