Dual core or hyperthreading enabled

How can I find out if its a dual core box or a box with hyperthreading
enabled ?
So I know its a 4 physical processor box as its a DL 585 G2. But I see 8
CPUs in Task manager. Now is it hyperthreading enabled or is it dual core
that shows it as 8 procs ? Is there an easy way to find that using SQL ? I
am using SQL 2005. Even if not through SQL, what are the other ways that I
can do so by running a command ?
ThanksIt's most likely dual core. Check the CPU model number. If it's the Opteron
8000 series, it's dual core.
