Why dxdiag shows 2 CPUs on my Compaq Presario notebook

[Belinda]

When I run dxdiag on my Company Presario notebook running P4 3.2 Ghz
HT system reports that it is running 2 CPUs .

Can somebody please clarify why it says there are two CPUs.

Thanks
Belinda

Belinda,

You have a new Intel CPU with Hyperthreading.

This appears to Windows like you have 2 processors.
