Dell Pentium D Performance Question

I'm in dispute with Dell. They offered, and I ordered, a 9100
Pentium-D 3.0ghz system with hyperthreading (HT). The shipped system
does not have hyperthreading, which I need to run multiple copies of a
CPU-intensive application.

They claim that multipe core capability (MCC), which the system has,
is faster than hyperthreading.

Is that right?

Are HT and MCC mutually exclusive or can I have both?

Thanks for any insights.
