Well, Win2K AS supports HyperThreading as well. Like XP it sees each CPU as
2 CPUs ie 2xhyperthread CPUs = 4 logical CPUs to the OS

No, because it will only set the FB process to one 'physical' CPU, not one
of
the two 'logical' CPU's

If the OS supports HT it should treat a HT CPU as two 'normal' CPU's. In
OS's that don't support HT, it is a bit of a hit and miss affair, sometimes
they are treated as one, sometimes two. XP is the first Windows OS that
supports HT, but apparently there are still a few issues.
