You are misunderstanding the article. Windows XP HE does not support more
than one processor. It does support HyperThreading, although you may want
to disable it. Hyperthreading only has benefit for those programs that are
written to take advantage of it, and the majority of the stuff out there is
not written to take advantage of hyperthreading. You may wish to conduct a
test...go a few days with H/T on and then a few days with H/T off and see
which is faster.
