Okay I'm confused now.

First I always thought my CPU was a Core 2 Duo, I assumed it cause I had 2 processors showing up on stuff. But then I looked at my sticker on my case and it says Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading. Now I take a closer look at my Dxdiag and My computer > device manager, and it says Pentium D.

Wrong sticker put on case? Wrong CPU put on mobo? Computer's deluding itself? I dunno.

Owned by your hardware provider?

Wait, don't dual core Pentium-D exist?

Pentium D is a dual core.I suggest downloading cpu-z

Pentium D's only come as dual cores i believe

(I have one of these older, hot running, slow chips :cires:)

Yeah the Wikipedia article says it's a dual core, anyways which one is better?

[AllFoamNoBeer]

Between dual core and P4 HTT?

[Corkum]

The pentium D is old tech. The newer conroe cores are much better.

i have a P4 and i have dual core...

well not really, you see hyper threading means u have one core but it tricks your computer into thinking it has 2 cores lol.

Common misconception is that a Pentium 4 HT is dual core. It isn't

Hyperthreading technology tricks the computer into seeing a single core as two. This is meant to help with multi tasking. But, in the end, it only has one core.

The Pentium-D is two Pentium 4 processors stuck together. So, that is a real dual core.

Does HTT actually do anything useful then?

[Hellsent 2.0]

Lol i dunno but Skaggy your sys spcs are funny

I haz leet system!

You can actually buy an iMac with those processors, that amount of RAM and those HDDs.
Anyone want to guess prices?

Yeah that's what tricked my into thinking I had a C2D before I looked closer at my comp's specs. :|:

You mean Mac Pro? I don't think all that would fit into an iMac.... Most expensive Mac Pro minus software and monitors is $21,419.00. :)

Tis what I meant, yes :).

What are SAS drives anyway?
