Just built a new system with a P4 prescott 3.00 g(800FSB) with HT but
noticed that in dxdiag it says i have got 2 CPUs: - "Processor: Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2 CPUs)".

Also in the Task Manager under the PERFORMANCE page > CPU Usage History
there are 2 boxes instead of the usual 1. The graphs are virtually a mirror
image of each other.

Is this normal with this CPU or has something gone wrong.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Your Intel processor contains HyperThreading which allows it to work as two
virtual processors. Everything's OK.
