the multi cpu (xeon) servers at work with HT show as double the # of cpu's

so boxes with 4 physical cpus show 8 cpus in task manager

The lure of the 65mn chips are the overclocking.

An overclocked EE 955 might be able to beat an overclocked FX60, I'm not 100% sure though, I can't find an article about it. I know it's reasonable to touch 6GHz on water or phase change.
