you know p4's have hyperthreading i was wondering will this act the same way as a dual core processor because hyperthreading is like another virtual core just wondering
 
answer:
p4's with ht technology "act" as a dual core processor.
pentium D processors "actually have" two cores.

result: the pentium d will work a lot faster because and more efficiently , for example, if u do digital editing, one core can handle graphics and the other core can handle the sound.
the ht technology is great, but if you are debating between the two, need to know what u plan on using the comp for-this makes a big difference.

If you're the type to do multitasking and stuff and/or the type of person who enjoys the benifits of HyperThreading, consider a dualcore processor to be a Hyperthreading-on-steroids processor. Instead of just being able to multitask, now you can get work done in those background threads. People that play around in multimedia, animation and image processing will benifit a lot from this as will those who do lots of statistical analysis and other heavy-math applications
