Hi Frank,

Figured out what I was doing wrong.  In virt-manager,
Processor, as soon as I clinked on the "Copy host CPU
configuration" button (Nelhalem, by the way), when
I went to "topology", I was able to configure:
    socket = 1
    cores  = 4
    thread = 1
And, this time XP-Pro saw the cores as cores and not
individual CPUs.

I even got fancy and tried
    socket = 1
    cores  = 2
    thread = 2
And that worked too.  Yipee!

My mistake was not clicking on the "Copy host CPU
configuration" button.

Thank you for all the help in getting me there.

Happy Camper,
-T
