After rereading, I anted to clarify. Dualcore is better then Hyperthreading. A HT processor actually shows as two logical processors, when there are actually only one that's capable of quickly switching between two things, looking from the outside like it's actually doing two at once.
I understood what you meant, and yes Dualcore is better than HT, but I wanted both -- Just being greedy I guess. The thought that the HT flag was set for a dualcore was what I initially thought, but there are differences between a virtual cpu and a real one, so I was uncertain.
