Not CPUs.

Are you sure you have a 16 core CPU? That's an amazingly high-end machine. HP do produce some of these 16 core workstations; out of interest I'd love to see the specs of your machine.

Here's how you find out:

1. Right click on the taskbar and select Task Manager
2. Go to the 'Performance' tab
3. Underneath the CPU graph, there is text that reads Utilization, Speed
4. In the second column the first entry is 'Base Speed' the second entry is 'Cores'

That will tell you if you have a 16 core processor. (eg. I have 6 cores)

If you don't have a 16 core processor, they are talking shit.
