Windows reports 4 processors installed?
If i check device manager or winmsd there are 4 processors listed in my PE 1750. There are only two installed. Any idea why?
I am running Windows 2003.

The PowerEdge 1750 system supports a technology known as hyper-threading. Hyper-threading allows one processor to act as two logical processors by providing two different data paths on the same chipset. Thus, with one physical processor in the system, the OS sees two logical processors.
For more information on hyper-threading technology from the Intel website, please click this link:
Hyper-Threading Technology for Servers
FYI for licensing issues with hyper-threading technology, read this document from Microsoft:
Microsoft Windows-Based Servers and Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
Please see the following Dell Knowledge Base article below for a full explanation of Hyper-threading:
