Porting Windows XP (XPe) on dual core processor

[Guest]

Hi All,

I need information on following points related with porting Windows XP (XPe)
on dual core processor:
1) If there are any issues in porting XP (XPe) on a dual core processor (for
e.g. symmetric/ asymmetric processing mode) .
2) We can follow the common procedure for porting OS on dual core as we do
in case on single core processor?
3) How the performance of the system will be improved? (e.g. using
multi/hyper threading applications only)
4) We can select the symmetric / asymmetric processing modes? If yes then
How?Any information on this is available?

Thanks & Regards
RD.

Roshan,

XPe is componentized version of XP Pro. This means the binaries are the same.
If you can answer your questions for XP Pro, you can apply the answers to XPe image in most cases.

Not sure what you meant by "porting" the OS.

Rosha,

1) There should not be any issues with creating WinXPe build on a dual
core machine as long as you ran your TAP.exe to get system info.
2) Yes the procedures are the same
3) i dont think this is a question for XPE forum. But it would be the
same for regular windows xp. All i can say is that if you have
applications that take advantage of parallelism you'll have noticeable
performance. Check out hardware sites for comparison single core vs
dual core cpu's
4) I dont think you can specifically tell windows to use only one core
of the cpu

Thanks
