Your processor is a "Hyperthreaded" CPU. It's one physical
processor, functioning in XP as two independent CPU's.
This is normal, you don't need to make any changes. However,
you can turn off Hyperthreading support in the Motherboard
BIOS settings. But if you do, you'll loose HT support for the
programs that support it.
