Two > logical cores = hyperthreading. ;P Absolutely correct. Minor brain fart, there, as they say. Thanks for catching that and correcting it! =8^) (I was trying to emphasize that with the AMD design, at least, it's still a single piece of silicon, only with two functionally separate cores, like two CPUs in one but cooperating a bit better than two entirely separate CPUs would, and chose the wrong wording to convey what I wanted, so ended up conveying something rather different, instead. =8^\ ) -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
