[mdlug] Dual Core with Hyper Threading

[David Lane]

Thank you.
  
Hyper threading "pre-feches" instructions. so for linear programs it is faster.  It kind-of sounds like RISC.  
   
  The other thing is that an OS might "see" 2 or 4 cpu's and use them but slow down while waiting for a responce from a shadow of a CPU "thinking" that it is a fully functionaly CPU.  
   
  Oh, I checked last night Micro Center got a truck in yesterday, they should have new ones in.
