The highlighted cpu is indeed a 6 core cpu with hyperthreading. I'm also somewhat confused as to why Dell or yourself would spec out 8G of ram instead of 6 or 12? This cpu is best suited to opererate in Tri-Channel mode. It will operate just fine with 8G's but only in dual channel mode. Just so you are aware of the fact is all. Good Luck. It looks to be a good system except for the ram.
Thank you so much for the fast reply. I wonder why Dell has the Cache listed at 8MB? Did not know that about the ram. I will change that before ordering. Thanks so much for your help.
