Windows XP Professional, Dual Processor w/ HT...

[Nigel]

I'm trying to figure out how Windows XP Professional will
deal with a dual processor computer where both processors
have Hyper-Threading turned on. Will Windows XP Pro be
able to utilize all 4 processors that it sees or will the
HT stuff just be wasted?

Thanks in advance for any information.

XP recognizes the difference between physical processors and HT/virtual
processors. You can in fact run a dual board with a pair of HT enabled P4s
and the system will fully use the processor resources.
