You have an HT-enabled (HyperThreading) processor. Windows can treat it as if you have two logical CPUs which in acutality there's only one. Think of it as a poor man's dually. You'll need software that's capable of taking advantage of this to see any big benefits, though it probably helps a bit in multitasking.

You can enable/disable HyperThreading in your BIOS. I don't see how you can have two processors showing up in your BIOS, but I have no experience with your board.
