I read a minute ago in an MobilityGuru article on an Alienware laptop that the guy installed a Hotfix from microsoft that enabled dual core in XP?

"I did a little digging, and found a hotfix from Microsoft that enables dual core support in Windows XP. I installed it and ran 3DMark05 again. I got a new score of 3201. "
Would this work with my Pentium 4 Prescott 3.2ghz Pentium 4 540 with Hyperthreading. If all it does is make XP multithreaded, then it should increase performance when using Hyperthreading.
Where can I get this?
