Why do I have 2 CPU's listed under device manager?

[FusionXP]

In Device Manager under Processors I have my cpu listed twice. I'm running the Intel 3.2E on a ASUS P4C800-E mobo. Why is that?

Pentium 4's contain Hyper-Threading technology, which allows one CPU to emulate two. Therefore various things (Such as your device manager) will properly depict your single Intel chip as two independent ones.

I didn't know that. So I guess everything is ok. I just checked task manager and there are also two graphs.

Thanks

Yep, your processor can execute two independent threads in a clock cycle, so Windows splits it up to depict the work done by both "CPUs". It's just your Hyper-Threading at work.

The Task Manager graphs for the Pentium D's are split up into four sections .

Nope, pentium D's are still only split into 2 sections because pentium D's do not have hyperthreading....try again.

Pentium XE 840 is what he meant.

Looks like Task Manager with my Dual Xeon that I've had for 2 years
