XP Home Edition

[Guest]

I have a computer with 2 CPUs (Pentium III 500 MHz) but only 1 cpu shows up
in task manager and in some system info areas but in others it shows both
processors for example

Processor x86 Family 6 Model 7 Stepping 2 GenuineIntel ~501 Mhz

is from the system info page but in system properties general tab it only
says there
is one processor and like I said above in task manager with view set to show
a graph for each processor it only shows 1 processor and also does not give
the option to set affinity.

Any ideas?

XP Home Edition doesnt support 2 CPU's, you need Professional version
