XP recognizes HT processor as Multiprocessor?

I just noticed that windows installed on this machine with a P4 2.8C as computer type "ACPI Multiprocessor PC"

is this normal? like some kind of WIndows based utility that allows the Hyperthreading to be taken advantage of?

or should i bother reloading windows and specifying it as a "Standard Computer"

 

any processor with HT will be detected as multi proc. This is by design.

 

ok thanks, that makes sense, just checking
