Windows XP Professional does.

Windows XP Home does NOT.

Greg

XP Home does *not* support physically separate processors. It does,
however, support hyper-threading which creates 2 logical (or virtual)
processors which share the workload. These will then appear as two
identical processors in XP despite only one physical processor being
present.

XP Pro supports 2 physically separate processors and hyper-threading.

hope that helps
