Thanks Niks for the reply.
Dxdiag is the directX Diagnostic tool and was more then helpful.

Another good one is "msinfo32" (without quotes) in a Run box.

I know about that Mickeyblue.
But thats not displayed always.
For eg.:
I have two pc one with intel and other having amd processsor in it.
Going your way:
number of processors NOT seen in intel processor pc: Intel Xeon CPU 5130...
number of processors SEEN in amd processor pc: AMD Athlon... Dual Core Processor 3800+
Dxdiag is the perfect choice in such cases.
