Yes and no... A dual core is literally that -- it has two cores. HTT is a technology that Intel uses that, from my understanding, allows multithreading of processes. This allows the CPU to process more than one process at a time, but it does not make it a dual core CPU. I don't know what it shows in the task manager for a single core with HTT, but for a dual core, it does show activity and usage on both cores.

To Dead Bodies: I ran SLi for a good while. Across both 6x & 7x series nVidia cards. They STILL don't have SLi to a point where it outperforms a single card config enough to justify the money needed to get two cards. You'd do better to take the money from the dual 7800's and buy a single 8800GT 512 (G92). Best-bang-for-your-buck card on the market at the moment.

Check out XFX's line of nVidia cards. Double lifetime warranty that isn't voided if you overclock. Works for me!
