Did they share it, aka could one "core"choke the other, or was is 1/2 FSB speed split per "core"?
they where not glued together , 1 PCB , 2 dies (worked like dual Xeon 604)

and BTW , under early winXP versions , early vista and even some early 32 bit win7 , in day to day bassis Pentium D series , based on Netburst would handle better than C2D , not to mention posiblity of HT.
