Windows configures 2 processors instead of 1

[Skelley]

Since a few weeks I own a new PC with an Asus P4P800 MoBo and a Pentium
2.60GHz processor. On this PC I installed Windows XP and the drivers that
came with the MoBo. The strange thing is that now an 'ACPI Multiprocessor'
driver is installed and 2 drivers for 2.60GHz processor are installed. I am
quite sure I have only 1 processor installed I don't really mind this
oddity, but though it might be a problem for some software... DirectX seems
to 'think' I have 2 processors too...

Any ideas?

Thanks ahead, Skelley

You have a Hyperthreading processor - this is normal.
