the hyperthreading part is because windows thinks its 2 cpu's and so you need an os that supports it which 2000 does
I havent heard of anything else that you would need xp pro for though | |

this link is saying HT doesnt work in Win2k....but the article is from 2002
I know that HT and SMP (symmetric multi processing) arent the same. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=5608
I suppose the msoft Knowldge base would be the final word
