XP Home - and Dual Core cpus (Intel) - support ?

[bored]

Hi

1 - i've seen dual core in XP Pro and know the task manager shows 2 cpus

in XP Home - what will happen ?

read all sorts of angles on this so i've decided to ask the experts

2 - networking - can you still see the network properties for your
connection and still be able to "install" ?


thanks

A dual-core processor is actually one (1) physical processor.

Windows XP Home Edition will utilize a dual-core processor exactly like
Windows XP Professional.

Good to be cautious. However, I think you're mixing up dual and other
multi-cpu motherboards up with cpu multi-cores (1 cpu). XP Home can't
handle more than one physical cpu as described in the former.

Can't help on installing from a network.

CDOs are how we got here.
A modified version, new taxes in the future, is how Congress will get us
out?

2- Yes, you can see the network properties. What do you mean by "install"?
Do you mean like installing Windows networking components like TCP/IP? If
so, yes, you can install them.
