In your case it won't make a difference. With a pentium 4 you shouldn't even be enabling dual core mode.
With the option turned off the OS is given control of thread affinity. This results in the threads "jumping around" from core to core.
With the option turned on the thread affinity is "locked" to a specific core. This means that the threads each remain on a specific core.
It's useful for taking measurements and might boost performance in some scenarios such as mobile cpus with turbo boost.
By default it's set to off and for most situations it should be left off.
In cpus with 1 or 2 logical cores (such as yours for example) there is basically no difference between having the option on/off.
