I purchased windows-xp home upgrade a year ago and I have
no installed service packs, will it support new HT
technology?

I don't know when XP began supporting HT but I believe its from day one. I
have dual Xeons 2.4 and it supports them and shows as 4 processors on the
task manager... It is smart enough to know that there are not actually 4
processors (I believe XP pro won't run on a quad system). So it should work
4 u. However you may have to enable it in your BIOS

Wait, wait! doesn't XP Home support only one (logical) CPU? Will it see
only "half" of a HT processor?

XP HE does support HT. Look around on the M$ website for a
white paper which explains the extent of support under XP HE
and other WinDuhs variants.
