One of your answers mentions this system as being quad-core. It IS eight-core, right?

yes is a dual quad.....I do a lot of 3d work, and on running a render test found that it is not as fast as the I7 systems but its a deal for the money....if I had to do it over again getting this system I would go with a better processor....at least the 8350. If youre doing 3d then get a better processor for more muscle. It is made well, roomy inside with two fans and mesh on three sides. It is easy to replace the ram and indeed to change any component. If you should have any trouble with this when you get it email or phone these guys and they will make it good. The one they first sent wouldn't boot but they had another one to me in a week and haven't had a problem since. Hope this helps. yes is a dual quad.....I do a lot of 3d work, and on running a render test found that it is not as fast as the I7 systems but its a deal for the money....if I had to do it over again getting this system I would go with a better processor....at least the 8350.

Is there a place where to verify what kind of processor it uses? Is it a dual-core?

Yes, it is a quad core and it's should be able to handle both the CPU and Video Card with no problem.

At least two. Could be four depending on the chip you purchased. If you will check the original shipping list that came with your machine, unless it says quad core. you only have two.

Hi Kenneth, You are absolutely correct. The CPU on this model is an AMD FX-8120 3.1GHz.

Yes, i got mine with a Intel Core i7-4770 Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.4 GHZ LGA 1150 8 MB Cache BX80646I74770

Not sure what you are asking, but this series contains amd A4 apu's. Meaning the cpu and video card is integrated in one chip. I think that is the basis for this lineup. You need more detailed of a question to get a better answer.

It is, but get enough ram, 16gb or at least two gb for each core. Also don't forget that much of video rendering in modern NLEs is off loaded to the graphics processors.

Yes it is a quad core. http://ark.intel.com/products/71459/Intel-Core-i7-3630QM-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_40-GHz. However the operating system it comes with is Windows 8.1 and it's the worst piece of CRAP I've ever had to deal with. I would recommend wiping the operating system and using a more stable version like Windows XP or something. :\

Yes. I installed it with a eight core AMD processor and it works great. Remember that the motherboard and memory must be compatible for type and speed.

Yes, and 6 cores that run at 2.7 GH, careful to note that not all run at the turbo speed.

Everyone was RAVING about the Quads awhile back, so I'm confused as well. I want processing for 1) virtual servers / lab, and 2) video encoding / output. Anyone with hands-on E8400 and/or Quads, I want your feedback!

According to the specs, they only came with up to the 2.66 Quad core, but this site says some of them support the 3.0 Ghz Quad core... you should submit your question here and see what they say. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1399948Make sure to state what form factor your unit is (Mini-Tower, Desktop, Small Form Factor or Ultra Small Form Factor variant)

Yes, that's more than enough. What type of processor and motherboard do you have?

There is a single quad-core processor. This basically means 4 processors on a single chip so you can easily run multiple tasks at once and video and games will run smoothly.

I put my quad core microprocessor into a Pavilion G7 AMDA6 Vision motherboard to make it an A-10 video core and it works fine. If you are not sure, go to www.hp.comand they will give you advise if it fits yours as an upgrade as they did for me. I received a response the same afternoon or evening. SAN

I have only used XEON processors on these systems. I wish I could be helpful, but I'm about as useful as.... Well, you know the saying! :)
