CPU for Motherboard clairification help needed

[Andretti]

Well, long story short, it looks like my alienware area 51 7700 laptop might have died. I am currently trying to determine if that is the case. In the meantime, I was looking up to see if there are possible motherboard replacements since mine is over 3 years old and I havent come up with any of the original board yet after looking for a few hours (its a clevo D900T revision A).

One of the silliest problems is this (and herein my question): When I got this laptop, Alienware put this sheet on the desktop listing the computer specs. With the MB currently being the major suspect in this problem, and being unable to pull up any specs on the board during an online search, I need someone to tell me if what they put in the "sheet" is just BS hype or actually true.

It lists it like this:

Processor 1
Name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz
Manufacturer: GenuineIntel
Caption: x86 Family 15 Model 3 Stepping 4
Version: Model 3, Stepping 4
Processor Id: BFEBFBFF00000F34
Current Clock Speed: 3463MHz
Address Width: 32Bits
Data Width: 32Bits
Socket Designation: Socket 775

Processor 2
Name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.40GHz
Manufacturer: GenuineIntel
Caption: x86 Family 15 Model 3 Stepping 4
Version: Model 3, Stepping 4
Processor Id: BFEBFBFF00000F34
Current Clock Speed: 3463MHz
Address Width: 32Bits
Data Width: 32Bits
Socket Designation: Socket 775


Is this saying that the CPU on my laptop is infact a Dual Core, or is this them just trying to spread the fertilizer? Since I cant find the board specs and I need to try to find a similar board this information is very important obviously.

Any help would be appreciated. If it infact is just a single core I might have already found a solution, but the way it lists it....sure suggests its a dual. How can I check to be sure? What would a dual say on the top of the chip verses just a single core?

Again, thanks for any help.

Your CPU is a 3.4ghz Pentium 4 with HT (Hyper Threading).

Hyper Threading is a small hardware unit on the CPU which acts as a second CPU by placing extra work into the main CPU's pipeline when stalls occur.


It is not a true dual core cpu. Pretty much any D900 motherboard should work for you though the newer the version the better of course.

Thanks for the clairification....I searched around for hours and couldnt find anything on that.

Thank you very much.
