Dont think so, as it says Pentium 4. And i havent seen a duel core with 6 Ghz. So you probly have a Pentium 4 Processor.

a: P4 with Hyperthreading, pretty obvious.
b: No Xeon's that I can remember were 3.0, they were 3.06.
c: I can be wrong but I don't think so :P

edit: ok, I might be wrong about the 3.0 Xeon's but pretty sure this gentleman doesn't have one...

Hyperthreading:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthreading

Long story short, it helps a little, but not much. IMHO a PC with HT is only slightly better in "feel" and responsiveness than a pure single-core.

Also, HT is basically software microcode, it's not an actual additional physical CPU.
