I have a P4 3.2G on a Intel D875PBZLK mobo, Kingston dual
512mb in the "0" slots. WinXP Pro. All new updates and
drivers installed.

The WinXP Device Manager shows 2 identical CPU's, there
is actually only one. The system seems to be operating
stable and fast. (Like I wanted with this cpu & mobo
choice.)

Should I just leave this alone? Should I delete 1 CPU? If
so the top or the bottom listed?
 
If you have a pentium processor with hyper-threading, you
device manager is supposed to show 2 cpu's. The hyper-
threading technology can do two processes at the same
time. Therefore, the computer will read it as two
seperate processors.
