A company did something insane to enable the Atom's usual "desktop" chipset to support two chips, instead of the normal one. I had only heard of them using it to slap in two single-core netbook chips, so they could have "dual core" Atom in a large netbook, but if you're gong to go for a small desktop, you might as well go for two dual-core desktop chips. Why the company didn't just put the "desktop" dual-core chip in is beyond me. (The company's site also is VERY fishy... nearly all of their products "thumbnails" are just photos of someone else's product, like the iPhone and iPad; and you only see what their actual product looks like when you click through.)
