Please help me identify my processor , an old roommate sold me this netbook dell ispiron 10 mini from 2008 I believe
The processor is atom CPU N270 1.60ghz but I don't understand if it's single core or dual core , I attached pics of task manager , system properties and device manager ,hope that you can help
It says ACPI Multiprocessor pc , does that mean 2 processors ? or 2 cores ?
also do I have 1 gb RAM or 2 gb RAM ?
have a nice day to all of you.

It's an Atom (single core) processor, but it has hyper-threading which is a virtual second core that allows more threads to process.

And if you look at the system properties, it says 0.99GB of RAM, which is 1GB.
 
does that mean that the processors i3 , i5 and i7 show double the original cores in the task manager CPU usage history chart ? For example an i7 processor 4 cores would show 8 chart squares ?
