Default Dual CPU and W7

I learn everything the hard way.

I loaded W7 Home Premium on the SR2 to flash the BIOS and see if all the components were working (so I could sleep).
OS loaded in a few minutes without a hitch. BIOS showed 2 CPUs. Device manager shows 24 Xeons. Prime95, wprime, and task manager only show 12 threads....so I was freaking out. I wondered what I was doing wrong..... for a couple days.

DOH......***correction; W7 Pro, Enterprise, and Ultimate support multiple CPUs. .....not W7 Home Premium.
There, no one else has to be a dumb ass and go through that kind of stress.
