dual processors for xp

[thomas]

Does windows xp support dual processors? the task manger
cpu monitor only shows one processor. Is there something
I have to turn on?

Thanks

Windows XP Home supports just one (1) CPU and
Windows XP Professional supports either one (1) or two (2)
CPUs. Which version of Windows XP are you using?

Do you have more than one processor installed?

Hi

I have just posted a similar inquiry on Intel OR840 Dual Processor Board

I have been having some inquiries lately about possible upgrade to XP Pro

From what I have heard so far, this same experience occurs with OR840 boards having dual processors installed. XP Pro detects the dual processors quite already as indicated in the device manager. However, the CPU usage history will show only a single processor chart rather than the usual dual charts for dual processor

I am sure the gurus out there will soon respond to this

Cheers
