    Hey guys, just surfing around on the net and I found this link.

    http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=3423

    It just talks about windows xp home not supporting hyperthreading. Seeing that the 6130 comes with windows xp home, I found it weird that if teh processor supports hyperthreading, why would they give u a windows version that doesnt support HT?

    Time to upgrade to PRO!!

    I think the end result of that thread is that XP Home does in fact support HT, as evidenced by that last screen shot.

    Windows XP home obviously supports Hyper Threading, but it does not support two physical processor. Windows Pro does that tho.
