    Quick question regarding i7 920 and Windows 7

    Is this normal?

    http://www.risen-guild.com/avelle/temp/taskmanager.jpg

    The i7 is a Quad Core so I thought only 4 cpu graphs would be showing. I read something about 8 threads, is that what I'm seeing? Just set up the new system so making sure things aren't all wacky right off the start.

    That is normal.

    It is 4 cores with 2 threads each core.

    They re-enabled Hyperthreading on the i7 series processors. This means that you have two logical processors for each core in the chip. 4x2=8. Completely normal.
