Similar one exists for Windows XP too.

1. Go to Start > Run
2. Type "msconfig" without quotes and press enter.
3. Got to BOOT.INI Tab and click Advanced Options.
4. Check the /NUMPROC option.
5. On the Dropdown Menu to the right of the option, select the number of cores you have. 2 for Dual core; 4 for quad core.

Changes offered by this in XP or Vista are very-very minute as far as my experience is concerned. Just the fact that you can use your resources to the fullest.
