Intel Atom...
The Atom is a very capable CPU, I having tested it using a few Mini-ITX boards.
However, it is a little confusing for me.
The single-core Atom @ 1.6GHz appears to be dual-core when looked at under Task Manager, and the dual-core Atom CPU looks like a quad-core under Task Manager.
Confused - can someone explain?

Yes... computers with HT show 2 processors under Task Manager. Tested that with a 2.8GHz and 3.0GHz P4 HT desktops.
