I mean for Mark. I have a PC with an old Intel P4 processor in it and it shows as 2 cores/CPUs because of the Hyper Threading. If you run Linux on a Intel Atom 330 (Dual Core) it will show 4 CPUs if you do:
cat /proc/cpuinfo

Mine doesn't :p
What version are you using?
Says dual core on the sticker and the description does in CPU-z but CPUz and Device manager only shows 1 core 1 thread
Windows 7

There are no single core CPUs with hyperthreading.
Umm what?

Hyper threading was developed to make single cores handle multitasking better.

Aha, that is most likely it, gonna have to crack it open and get the cpu info again. Thanks Joe

CPU-Z will save you some time.

That requires installing windows.
I just wiped it clean with Gentoo. (Again...)
