What are my systemspec?

    Hola!

    I've been using 3 different system checking sources, but the results is bringin´ me more confusion then clearness.

    Take a look at the attached picture. It looks to me like I have 2 processors (3.0GHz) since that is what the canyourunit.com test says. The Everest tells me that I have Multi CPU, but there is no word about Dual Core (is this 2 different things, wouldn't both proc have at least 1 core each ?)

    CPU speed seems to be 3.1GHz, but what does the first "3.0GHz" stands for in Windows Systempref, Is it just the processor name? (This is were it usually says "Dual Core or (D) right?)

    One last thing, the canyourunit.com test says that my performance are rated 4.52GHz, does this means my 3.1 cpu are overclocked to 4.52GHz?

    So many questions, so little time! Oh well I hope someone can help me with this!

    Stop promoting software and answer my question. Seriously tho, I only used 1 web based software.

    CPUID shows just 1 core so I guess that's it. The core speed is ticking so I really can't see what the "final" speed is

    To be honest skdr is right — the web-based tester is clearly inaccurate for some reason and is making significant errors while gauging your specs. I personally use PC Wizard for examining all my specs; it's always been accurate and covers more than most competing software.

    Furthermore, while the web checker might provide inaccuracies, I have a hunch the thing where it claims you have 2 processors is because it's a pentium 4. They have hyperthreading, which on some tests will appear as 2 cpu's for some reason. What it actually means for your cpu is the possibility to utilize all (or most of) the cpu via multithreading. So instead of hogging all of it doing jobs that might only take part of its capacity, it's able to use the space available for something else. More or less. Basically it pretends to have two logical processors to the operating system (one physical), and is thus able to run two threads at once.

    This is really just a basic, rough rundown and shouldn't be treated as entirely accurate, but it should give you an idea. I think most if not all tests will show it as two processors, since it's usually treated as such on most operating systems.

    As for the rest.. Yeah, get a proper test.
