Just as a p.s to highlight the issue and confusion (not trying to
criticize, just hoping it will explain better as the terminology I
think is confusing some when arguing), I have one dual cpu machine

12+/6+ or something else? (answer is the latter "something else", when
you explain that maybe others will understand what you are really
trying to say).
