2 CPU Question

Depends if your talking about 2 processors on one board in two sockets, as in a Server setup. Or a Dual Core processor. If your talking about Dual core then quite a few do.
 
k GOOD because I have kind of crappy Processors but i supposebly have 2 of them (they are Pentium 4 HT 2.93GHZ together there rated at 4.39GHZ my motherboard/chipset is a Intel I915P)

Sure its two or one showing as two because of the HyperThreading. And the 915P is the boards chipset not the model number.
 
915P is the Northbridge and the 82801FB is the Southbridge chipset, there should be a model number somewhere on it, you can just pop the side off to see if its a two socket board and the model number.

They do not get added together, it's just like mult-core processes. You have two physical processors which operate at 2.93Ghz each, they cannot run together on the same process, therefor you cant have a 4.39Ghz CPU.

And what do you mean you supposedly have two? Are you referring to what the task manager or apps like dxdiag say? It will say two processors because your CPU has HT, which simulates a second core.
 
System Requiremtsn lab said I have 2 CPUs and there rated at 4.39GHZ and AIDA32 told me i have 2 CPU's...do I have 2 Physical CPU's or HT?? and if i have 2 physical is there a way for them to work together?

Desktops rarely have dual-sockets. The System Requirements Lab will say you have two processors, and give you a "rated Ghz". Don't believe it. If you have a Pentium 4 then most likely it's an HT model, which acts as an additional logical processor.

And if for some bizarre reason you have two (or anyone with a dual/quad core), the processors do work together, but not on the same task. So you could be running two CPU-intensive apps and they would both run faster then if they were on one single core. But both cores cant work on the same process/task.

Pretty sure this is your board, if it is its a single socket

Blazing_Javelin,

Why you don't run CPU-Z, if it says that you have 1 core and 2 threads at the bottom then you have Pentium 4 with HT
 
its normal to have 2 physical CPUs on one board, that is if its a server motherboard like

supermicro.com

they handle 2 xeon cpus, but for regular tasking u wont need that much power of 2 cpus
 
Is the speed on my HT processor including the HT advantage or is it not included,...if it is NOT what do you think its equivalant to in GHZ?(RE: its a Pentium 4 HT 2.93GHZ CPU)
