    Hi Lee, that processor is a Dual Core Processor with 4 threads . . .

    In Task Manager, right click the graph for your Processor and choose 'Change graph to logical Processors . .

    How many processor cores do you then see?

    Hi, Lee,

    In addition to AndreJA answer: check the BIOS settings, they may have effect too.
