I'm pretty sure the first 4 are the real cores and the last 4 are the logical cores... that way if an operating system supported fewer CPUs than were available in the system, it would see the physical cores first before seeing the logical cores.

Yup..I don't know for sure, but that's how it's always seemed when I look at task manager. Hopefully somebody has a definite answer.

As far as I know this is the good answer. Unless Microsoft changed it.

I don't know for sure either... Windows 2000 pro can only see two cores so it made sense for them to be real cores as opposed to one real and one logical. I believe Intel requested that this be implement in the bios of mobo's when the first hyperthreaded P4's came out. Whether that ever happened or not or whether it still is the case today I don't know...
