T or F? XP Home won't support dual core.

I just read that XP Home does not support a dual-core processor, and XP Pro
is required. Is this established fact?

False.
Windows XP Home Edition does support the Dual Core processor. It treats it
much like it treats hyperthreading.
I believe Windows XP Home Edition only supports one processor.. but that is
based on slots, not cores/hyperthreading.

Thank you, Shenan. That confirms what I thought was the case!
