System Information shows incorrect number of processors

[Brian]

I am running a dual xeon processor system with Windows
2000 Server. The System information, task manager and SQL
Server all reports 4 processors. Bios only shows 2. Any
ideas?

Hyperthreading? 2000 Server shouldn't be able to detect more than 2
processors, I think. I think you need Advanced Server for more than
n2...

Win2K Pro and Server are limited to 2 processors. You're either
running Advanced Server or Datacenter.

Check your system bios for a HT setting.
