Using all RAM

[samthekiller23]

Hey guys , ( First post, I dont know if im in the good category )

So i got a new computer , wich is an Acer aspire i7 : http://www.gadgetfolder.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Acer-Aspire-M3920-Sandy-Bridge-multimedia-desktop.jpg

I wanted to know what is my RAM and all that , because when i went to buy it , the seller was telling me pretty much random stuff.. he said i had a dual core but when i do CTRL+shift+esc. and go to performance , i see this : http://imgur.com/YntVf

I'm pretty sure that I have 8 core , but as you can see , it looks like im only using 4 of them. Am I wrong or not ?

Thank you.

I7 is quad that can do 8 threads using hyper threading. Your ram is DDR3 which one you can find out with this program http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html
