RAM Usage Display and x2 number of cores

[clubber]

RAM usage is displayed in System Usage window in PT11 but not in PT10. Or am I missing something there?

Also why do I get 8 cores instead of 4 in playback engine dialog box even though I am on a 2011 macbook pro 4 core i7.

Cheers

First: no, you're not missing anything as there is no ram usage line in the system usage window.

Second: hyperthreading is responsible for seeing 8 cores when you only have 4 physical cpu cores.
