Does the Dell XPS 400 Duo core 2.8ghz machine have hyperthreading or not?

Here is the Dell XPS Owners manual:
ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_xps_desktop/xps-400_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.pdf

you can see in the specifications that it states in has Hyperthreading.
And why I ask as well - why would Dell say it does when it doesn't?

And given what you are saying that it doesn't with the 840 processor

Could I put a different socket 775 cpu that does have hyper-threading capability? Say a 3.06ghz Duo core?
and would that mean even if I did change the cpu - I still wouldn't have hyperthreading due to the 945P chipset?

@ WhiteSnake - I downloaded the Service manual for it last night.
ftp://ftp.dell.com/Manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_xps_desktop/xps-400_Service%20Manual_en-us.pdf

Apparently it shipped with either a single core Pentium 4 socket T with hyper-threading or a Duo Core (the Pentium D Smith...)

No not gaming - it was to be a temporary comp to tie me over for few weeks - my other comp can't handle what I'm doing and I'm jonesing for a comp for creation. If it was what it claimed to be - it would have served it's purpose if I uped it to a 3.6ghz duo core x64 with Hyper-threading.

Apparently - common sense states that if the 945P chipset isn't capable of hyper-threading. The single core hyperthreading is useless in the cpu - the dual channels are useless in the ram.
and Duo core with hyper-threading is out as well. Which would have given me 4 buckets for rendering.

@ Bubblehead - yeah agreed all hype ie: called bs, miss-representation - or plain old lying in most areas of the world.
I for one am sick of it, especially by the electronic companies who make the comps and monitors and TV's etc etc.

I shouldn't have to have a major in computer science and reverse engineer a motherboard and it's combined components to find out whether or not a company is feeding myself and everyone else a line of bull about a systems capabilities.

Apparently they are begging to be regulated - "special" regulations for the electronics industry.
Currently - no company is supposed to miss-rep their product.

Unbeleivable that this was a $4,000 system when it came out and they tossed a line of bull to sell it.
Does any company actually tell the truth about their boards and combined gear. I mean actually have a MB with compatable components that can be truly upgraded with out shortcomings by the chipset or drivers not being issued when it comes time to upgrade the CPU?

They have a Quad-Core LGA socket 775 - I should by all rights be able to put that on this machine with out problems.
A waste of time from what I now understand about the limitations of the chipset on this MB. If it could be done at all.

I guess I'll just have to start saying - "Bullshit" to everything.
You'll get up to 480mbs with USB2 - "Bullshit
10 time the speed of USB2 with USB3 - "Bullshit"
And if you get anywhere close to 120mbs - half of the transferred data is corrupt - "Oh finally some truth...

Just running out and buying the ram and be happy... yeah that would have been a waste of money and made me real happy. Not! lol

But thanks for the replies...
