A dual-core machine is a computer that houses a dual-core CPU (and a matching motherboard). Also, to my knowledge (correct me if I'm wrong), the P4 3,6GHz is not a dual core CPU. Unless you mean a dual CPU motherboard. Clarify and people might be able to help you out.

I'm guessing i have a dual cpu motherboard because it really says 2 P4 cpu. How does that compare to the other one you mentioned? -Would you like cheddar or swiss cheese? -Yes. -...

I have a p4 2.8c overclocked to 3.2 GHz, and because of hyperthreading, it's rated as two cpus, though it it isn't. Are you sure you have a dual core, and not just hyperthreading?

The keyword here is P4 "HT" Your Operating system picks it up as a "Dual Core" Back in them days...all that used 2x P4 "HT's'" CPU..were server boards!

When i bought the machine i asked for a dual core machine and this is what the guy sold me. Got it for about 400-500$ used. If i go to system it says p4 3.20 and p4 3.19. There's nothing about HT. I don't know if that's good or bad that server boards used those. Which is it? -Would you like cheddar or swiss cheese? -Yes. -...

P4 single core with "HT" Hyper Threading. Your OS see's it at a Dual Core CPU. EDIT- Much like the I7...Showing 8 core's in the OS!

The newer types are alot faster .
