if it has hyperthreading it wil do that. that was the point of hyperthreading. i said the same thing when i had my 3.4E.

EDIT: hyperthreading is suppose to multitask better. the OS sees two virtual processors and it shares the workload, but there is only one core. so its like a broken down dual core

Some P4's have HyperThreading, as stated above. Mine shows the same thing, kinda. Used one extra program to show you:

Shows 2 processors, with HyperThreading, but I only have a single-core processor.

80 isint that much ether.. when I did Vista RC2 beta's i had about 110-120 running daily.. but that was with a AMD Athlon 64X2 4200+ (overclocked to 2.6Ghz) with 2gb ram and a PCI-E eVGA 8600GT
