This may seem daft but I'm not sure if my intel pentium 4 3.06ghz processor is dual core or not, the pc was bought new about a year ago. When I view system information it shows the processor info twice, also when I go to device manage it shows the information twice as if there are 2 processors (dual core) can anyone shed any ligt as to if this all means I actually have a dual core processor. cheers.

Pentium 4's are not dual core.
Dual core processores would have a clock speed of 2.93 (intel conroe) at the most.
Dual core computers don't show two seperate entires on the system information.

I believe that your system has Doubled your processor driver and Pentium 4 3+Ghz are not yet Dual Core....
In April of 2005, Intel announced the Intel® Pentium® processor Extreme Edition, featuring an Intel® dual-core processor, which can provide immediate advantages for people looking to buy systems that boost multitasking computing power and improve the throughput of multithreaded applications. An Intel dual-core processor consists of two complete execution cores in one physical processor (right), both running at the same frequency. Both cores share the same packaging and the same interface with the chipset/memory. Overall, an Intel dual-core processor offers a way of delivering more capabilities while balancing energy-efficient performance, and is the first step in the multi-core processor future.

I use an i5-2410M (GPU Intel 3000) with 8 GB DDR3 1333 in my 4330s HDD 320 GB 7200 rpm. It heats (GPU) and regularly bug without warning, I removed the lid and place on a medium two-fan, it's really good. Now that I've found a way to cool down properly, I am looking for a i7-2820QM normally compliant (Soket: rPGA988B / BGA1023 (FC PGA988 sisoftware sandra)). That's why I'm back on all forums! greeting

Thats a P4 and the two processors mean hyperthreading, not dual core

Right hand click on my computer.
Click on Properties
Click on the General Tab
If it is dual core it will say in the Computer: Section.

It's not dual core... dual core chips weren't place on computers till recently.
try downloading a program called :
CPU-Z it would tell ya all ya need to know.

In the device manager it should show up as two processors.

May I suggest CPU-Z. Download this small program from CPUID.com This program only opens when you open it, and will tell you about all the components in your computer.

It's not.
Period. Unless you're an absolute millionaire.
