the one with ht technology its makes it so the processor thinks it has two 3.0 processors

I wouldnt say that, i think it just makes it so that the processor can process more information at one time. Im pretty sure it doesnt think that it has two 3.0GHZ processors.

oh well mine shows two different screens when seeing performance

ya but the processor can handle two threads at once. doesnt mean it has two cpus. what you are seeing there is one screen for one thread and the other screen is for the second thread.

I like Hyperthreading myself and as the owner of a 630 P4, I can tell you firsthand that it does an excellent job of multitasking. I game on it and usually watch movies or TV on it at the same time. (I have dual monitors on each of my machines)
