Open "Device Manager" and se if The Porcessor is listed twice.

if there are dual processors, i would think it would be listed 4 times due
to hyperthreading
i have a server with dual xeon and 4 are listed in device manager

Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Alt + Del)

Look on the Performance tab, it will show two proceesors.

XP Setup should have recognised the dual proc configuration and installed
the SMP HAL.

Mark,
I too am showing four processors on my Dual Xeon Workstation and two system
boards (in Device Manager) after installing a new primary hard drive and
reinstalling everything. However, when I went to Task Manager, it only showed
one CPU window. Do I need to do a complete reinstall? Everything seems to be
working fine, but I don't want to go through reinstalling all of my software
and then have something go wrong due to this problem.

Thanks,
Diana

When I made that selection, it showed 4 CPUs. What now?

Then you are good to go ;-)

Nothing is wrong, HT procs appear as two logical
processors. Since you have two PHYSICAL procs,
TM shows four. If you had seen some other number,
then you would have had a problem to solve.
