Does your Pentium Dual-Core have hyperthreading capabilities? |

Hyperthreading. And now that I actually read the article I doubt your processor has HTT. EDIT: So, basically, if you were using an HTT-compatible OS with a Dual-Core HTT processor, your computer would see four cores and distribute the processes among them, therefore, yes, the program you're talking about would work fine with your computer, if the aforementioned is true. |

Alright, well, what I really want to know is will using a less-capable processor do any damage to my computer? |
| Kyzor:
I don't think so, but if it has HTT, it's definitely fine. Try Googling your processor to find some specs and whether it has HTT or not. Pentium Dual-Core processors are really nice, you hopefully shouldn't have any problems, but you might want to ask someone who knows more about this than I do. Stop by your local Best Buy or the like and talk to a GeekSquad rep. They'll definitely have answers for you. |
