One socket = one processor.
Thanks very much for your reply, it was very helpful.
One of the sites says that Windows XP Pro supports up to two
microprocessors, while Home Edition only supports one. Is the Intel Centrino
Duo just one processor?
Thanks again, Daniel

Believe you're interpreting "cpu" as the entire computer, which is what I
interpret from your response. In this thread, "cpu" is using the literal
term instead. The cpu is a very complicated chip for data processing in
simple terms. Its inside the computer case and resides on the motherboard.
The only time I can see what you say happening is if someone replaced a cpu
chip with a cpu with HT technology and enabled HT in the bios. The HAL is
slightly different as a result to utilize HT. There were few motherboard
makers that made these that could utilize both old and the newer (now old)
techs. In this case, its doubtful. But can't be dismissed as the OP failed
to relay that data.
Feel free to contribute. Sometimes, a filter person like myself is needed
to clarify to others.

In the case from a non-HT to an HT technology cpu, a repair install would be
needed if the HT capability was enabled in the bios. These are rare to
happen, but you have a definite point. The OP needs to be specific for
specific advice though as we wander in the dark trying to present advice for
something not specific.

to reinstall xp??
If you only changed the processor, you're probably OK. If you changed the
motherboard, you probably need to reinstall to be on the safe side.
