buy a motherboard and dont even know whats in it:D (dont worry i do that all the time:p )
well, never heard of a virutal processor before that i can remember... maybe its like virtual memory or somthing.
 
i do know what is in it, i know its exact specifications, but never did i read that on the website

Any one know?
 
I think it is talking about Hyper Threading on the new Intel CPU's. Basically, it can execute multiple "threads" at a time, just as an SMP system would (Dual CPU etc...). It isn't actual a Dual CPU system, but can simulate it when running threads.
 
OK, Cheers...

Has anyone ever used this motherboard before?

I need to buy the Processor, but i decided to turn it on for the sake of it, and on the back 4 red lights came on, these show what the MoBo is doing, they have sequences for testing CPU, RAM, to booting OS. I thought this is a nice thing, so that if there is a problem with the CPU, all lights would be red, if there is a problem with the RAM, there would be 3 red, and 1 green. etc...
