Intel I7 4 core .. why showing 8 cpus in system ?

Odd .. now using a Intel i7 quad core cpu . but the performance
tab is showing
8 cpu history plots and the device manager is listing 8 cpu's ?

is this anything to do with 32 / 64 bit ?

It's called Hyper-Threading technology. The quad core will show 8 threads
available to the operating system which means better performance.

It appears that you're still stalking myself and others - one would
think you could at least show some manners/ethics from time to time.
