I've just bought a second hand desktop on eBay which was described as having a "QUADCORE PROCESSOR"
It's actually a HP workstation xw6000, which Google tells me is around 10 years old. I don't imagine it's the original processor though several elements have been upgraded.
However, if I go into Win7 - Computer - System Properties the processor is described as follows:
Intel Xeon CPU 2.66GHz (x2)
Control panel confirms that there are two processors. Now I'm no expert on PC hardware but doesn't the term "Quad" come from the Latin for "four"? Or is this what I should expect?
