Re: dual core processor

HT is different than dual core. HT will only show one entry in Device
Manager. HT is one processor core acting on threads as two whereas dual
core is just like a dual processor (logically) even though they're still
on one die. However, HT should still show two processors in Task
Manager as long as the BIOS and XEON and Software support it. Did you
look on Intel's website for the exact processor model?

http://processorfinder.intel.com/scripts/list.asp?ProcFam=528

and

An earlier look might have saved us some threads...

Also check out John's links below for further explanation.
