Win XP shows 2 processor

[Guest]

Windows is displaying 2 processors in the device manager.
I only have one. My MoBo only supports one processor. I
have tried deleting one and both from within device
manager and then restarting the computer.After restart
device manager still diplays 2 processors. How can I fix
this problem.

Apparently, you have a computer that supports Hyper-Threading.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.

There's nothing to fix, you've just got a very nice processor that is
"almost" a dual processor.

And as an afterthought, if you run across something in your PC that you're
not quite sure about, it might be best if your first instinct isn't to
delete it. I end up fixing a lot of computers because someone was browsing
through the computer and decided to start deleting things.
