Mteezey,

About the core 2 quad processor does this actually have four cores or is it two split up into two each?

Intel naming is horribly confusing.
Core 2 Duo = 2 physical cores, no Hyper Threading.
Core 2 Quad = 4 physical cores, no Hyper threading But does have Multi Processing. http://ark.intel.com...z-1066-MHz-FSB)

After reading the articles on the link from Phillpower2. Thank you,

Here is a good article on Hyper Threading that explains it very well. http://www.makeuseof...logy-explained/
One more, when Intel released Hyper Threading 1992 > http://www.xbitlabs....3066.html#sect0
