Hi

I am running two duel cores each core has hyper-threading so when I go "Ctr+Alt+Delete" and click on Performance I get eight cores up.

As I understand it and I may be wrong, each processor has two cores and each core has hyper-threading making four cors and I have two of those processors make eight cores but if someone reads this and says no that wrong I would love to be put right.

However under Task Manager/Performance there are eights cores. Yes I am running XP Pro,

As I said above Dell and Alias say its a thing called Data contention has anybody else heard of this or and this problem. Is there anybody out there with an eight core machine? if so can you let me know how you are getting on.

Also if there is anybody using this setup would you be willing to try and render the file for me and le me know how you get on.

Thanks
