If hyperthreading is not enabled in the BIOS then Windows will see a single processor (and treat it as a single
processor), however as long as it's enabled then the OS should see two processors. I've tested and verified this on 3
machines running XP or Server 2003 as AFAIK hyperthreading is not supported in Win2K.
Hope this helps,
