I say this because I have done scouting around retail stores BestBuy, Fry's, CircuitCity, etc with notebooks and desktops Tsk Tsk. BF2, Oblivion, etc would be a lil F'ed Up if the dual cores are not both being utilized because the setting for your Windows isnt set correctly.

This hotfix is for those that want the most out of their Dual Cores. If you are just a casual PC user , this hotfix might not do anything for you. But if you multitask and game, you definitely see an increase in performance. As well as if you do Professional Audio editing and Video editing, this will also help you greatly. If you own a Clevo DK A. You will still have optimized dual core as long as you do the rest of the guide.

Great way to double check you are utilizing your cores! Justin XoticPC , Jun 19, What is the maximum quantity of physical processors of a PC that each edition and its corresponding processor architecture of Windows XP supports? The number of processors you can use depends on the version of Windows XP you use, though there are some caveats. Be sure to know what you're doing before you attempt to set up multiple processors. Microsoft's licensing policy limits the number of processors Windows supports for its Home and Professional versions, as outlined below.

It's important to understand, however, that this is on a per-processor basis, not a per-core basis. This means that, under the licensing policy, a dual- or even quad-core processor counts as a single processorsomething that confused many people in the early days of dual-core technology.

Knowing that, the limit of the number of processors is determined by your version of Windows XP. If you're not sure which version you're running, check the sticker on your computer. It will say the version there beside your license key; you may right-click "My Computer" and click "Properties.

The Home edition of Windows XPthe edition that came with most machines home users bought from the likes of Dell and HP, before Windows Vistasupports only one processor. This means if you want to install more than one processor and you run Windows XP Home, you may need to switch to Professional, or upgrade Windows to a newer version with support for multiple processors.

If you want to use two processors, Windows XP Professional is the way to go. Hey everyone. Ive got Vista Ultimate and a few things don't work. Its like that on a good few windows i open. Can't think of anything to fix them. Thats jus one of the many problems. Anyway if I was to start fresh with XP again would it take full advantage of my quad core and all that?

I'm going to answer your heading, seeming when others click your message, that's what they expect to answer, I know I did. Any Windows version can go on any new Hardware. Many new Hardwares have been designed with Vista in mind. This is especially true for manufacture computers sold with Vista OS And therefore some drivers Audio so forth may be nearly impossible to find to work with older versions of Windows.

Therefore it is advisable to first confirm all Windows Xp drivers are available before reverting from Vista to Xp on new computers sold. But Windows Xp itself will still work.

Nothing really will take full advantage of your quad. XP will be fine until Vista has all the bugs worked out or wait 'til Windows 7 that will be here in
