Hyperthreading. Creates a second virtual CPU.

Hyper Threading make XP think you have two processors. This is normal.

Bonus! I didn't realize that this was a hyperthreading processor! The little intel inside sticker usually has a little HT notation on it, this one doesn't! Very cool.

Thanks for the heads up guys!!

If the Ricer culture teaches you nothing else, know this - never trust a sticker.

lol, yeah.. never trust anything with a sticker! Do they make 3ghz p4's without hyperthreading, or are they all ht?

Yes, all P4 processors above 3.0Ghz are HT. even the 3.06Ghz 533Mhz FSB one.
BTW, what motherboard are you using?
