When I open device manager it shows 2 intel 3.4 ghz processors not just
the one I'm running . Does this have something to do with the
overclocking ability of the board, the hyperthreading of the cpu or
what. Overclocking turned on or off doesn't seem to make a difference
in device manager. Can't find any reference to this at mskb.

The HyperThreading feature causes the CPU to show as TWO separate
processors.
