That's *dual* quad-core (i.e., total of 8 cores), apparently.

What I can't figure out is how it's possible to put 23GB of RAM into a 
single PC. AFAIK, nobody makes motherboard that can do that...

(The other problem, of course, is that although it has 1.5TB of storage, 
since you access the Internet at 8 mbit/sec, it would take a loooong 
time to fill or empty that space. So it's only useful for temporary data 
generated by the process itself.)
