Stupid question I know, I ordered 2 dual core Dempseys 5060s but Task
manager Performance View shows 8, Processors under Device manager show 8. I dont have the box it came in so I can't check there. This is windows 2003 server 64 bit btw thanks |

This is windows 2003 server 64 bit btw thanks That thing has got Hyperthreading. So Task Manager is going to show 2x what you would have expected. http://processorfinder.intel.com/det...px?sSpec=SL96A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthreading "Hyper-Threading works by duplicating certain sections of the processor — those that store the architectural state — but not duplicating the main execution resources. This allows a Hyper-Threading equipped processor to pretend to be two "logical" processors to the host operating system, allowing the operating system to schedule two threads or processes simultaneously."

HTH, Paul I see. Thanks again. This is the system I was talking to you about a while ago, I got it up and running and it works great. |

I wish, turns out to be because of hyperthreading. |
