Question about processor?
Intel's core i3, is a dual core right.
I've i3 540 @ 3.07 GHz. But when I open "dxdiag", in the processor row it shows i3 540 @ 3.07 GHz (4 CPUs)
Why does it show (4 CPUs), shouldn't it be (2 CPUs)????

It only has 2 physical cores and 4 "logical" cores.
Hyper threading allows the CPU to use the "gaps" in the CPU DATA stream to process data like another virtual core.

no, 4 cpus is reffering to the fact that ur duo core procesor has 4 threads
on my laptop i have a quad core with 8 threads. dxdiag says 8 cpus. device manager says 8 too
