Ignore all the other posts, as they don't know what they are talking about.
An AMD64 processor will not show up as two processors, because
Hypertransport is a hardware solution related to the on-die memory
controller. Your computer is fine just the way it is. Your hypertansport
will give you real world benefit all the time, with all software, instead of
the misleading hyperthreading, which only works with a very very few pieces
of software. Dell and several manufacturers announced last week that they
will be shipping their remaining P4 machines with hyperthreading disabled
because of the performance hit it causes in everyday usage. Be happy that
you have an AMD with hypertransport.
