P4 HT on XP Home?

Getting my new "dell" from the last big deal today. First built by someone else computer and first intel box. I was wondering does XP Home support HT? I read some conflicting stuff about HT=dual processors so home doesn't support it? I was going to format anyway, just wondering if home would be a waste to put back on. (lazy and don't want to update pro) 😉
 
The only situation where XP Pro is necessary to support hyperthreading is for Dual Xeons (2 physical + 2 logical processors total). Otherwise, XP home is fine.

True, "Home" doesn't support dual processors. But "HT" isn't a real "dual processor" configuration. 😉
