Thanks to all who responded!

It looks like Dell (France) screwed up when they offered me "Dimension
9100 biproces. Pentium D.830 avec [with] Hyper Threading". The only
dual processor with HT I can find on the Intel site is the Extreme
Edition, and Dell don't appear to offer it.

I guess my only choices are:

1. Accept what I have
2. Return it, and wait for someting better...
