I've noticed that it can be difficult to distinguish the difference between a machine that has Dual-core processors with Hyperthreading enabled and a machine that has full Quad-core processors. Can anyone recommend a diagnostic program that will run on Windows and/or Linux and tell me quickly:
Processor family, number of cores, amount of RAM, Motherboard chipset, other valuable folding factors?
Extra points if the program can run off a USB stick or CD without requiring installation on the machine under analysis; more extra points if it updates frequently to keep-up with the latest processors in development from Intel, AMD, and others
