system monitor?
I went into my system monitor so I could see my memory and cpu usage and I noticed it said cpu1 and cpu 2, what does this mean? I did this on the computer listed in my signature. Thanks.

Not a physical core, but a emulated one like Pentium D have.
Take a look Intel Atom N270
You might have a option in bios, as "SW Single Processor mode" which is disabled by default.

Not really. It does support Intel Hyperthreading, which makes it look like a second core. What it is is a second register set so threading applications have better context-switch performance. However, there is still only one processor.
