Subject: Dual Core vs HyperThreading vs Dual CPU


I'm going to assume that Dual Core is better (can't believe that they took
a step back) ... but, is how does it rate? I know that HyperThreading is
definitely != Dual CPU ... but how close does Dual Core get?

I think HyperThreading is more like 2 Logical CPU


Maybe some details here:
