First and foremost, I am against cloning. I do it because I am told to.e
We ordered a batch of HP DC5750's. We made a clone doing sysprep et al. Life was good. But then after the PC's were installed 1000 miles away we discovered that we built the clone from a dual core system and most of the PC's are single core.
Now every time we lauch notepad, control panel, my computer - the system freezes for up to 2 or 3 minutes. The PC's are also reporting hard drive errors.
The fix is to go in and hardware manager and swap the dual processor APIC driver for a single processor.
