XP support for HyperThreading

HI,
Can somebody tell me is Windows XP home edition support
intel pentium-IV HyperThreading. If XP home edition does
not support HT, I would prefer to go for XP professional

Both XP Home and XP Pro fully support Hyper-Threading.

I always mix that up with 2 CPUs on the motherboard for some reason. Only
Pro supports that, right?

Windows XP Home will use one PHYSICAL processor.
Windows XP Pro will use two PHYSICAL processors.

Intel processors with hyperthreading technology essentially create two
logical processors from one physical processor.
