Issue with P4 800Mhz FSB processor

[nix0r21212]

Hey, I just got this system up and running with a P4 2.8Ghz Northwood running at 800MHz bus. XP seems to be detecting it as two 2.8 ghz processors, i assume running at 400 Mhz each. Has anyone had this happen before? Is there a way to fix it? or is it more beneficial to have it set up like this anyway? Or is this just how XP deals with the bus speed?

I believe your "problem" is called hyper-threading.

Yes it's normal for a hyperthreaded P4.

You will also find people complaining that they can't get 2 processors to show up.

Now check for 2 video cards.
