I got a new Asus P4P800S motherboard installed with WinXp, in the device
manager of Windows it shows 2 P4 CPU's installed, this is obviously wrong
since the board doent support dual CPU's.
For what reason does this show up like that? Any info would be appriciated,
thanks.

You probably have a hyper threading cpu. Windows sees it as 2 cpus.

The P4 CPU that you are using uses Intel's HyperThreading, which means that
in some circumstances the processor can run two threads at the same time
thus roughly mimicking two processors in use.
