Yes, Windows 98 SE won't care if you have 3 CPU because it
only supports using one processor, it will simply not use
the other two CPUs thus making your expensive 3 CPU
computer very unused.
Otherwise other licenses of Windows 2000 Server, 2003
Server, NT Server, etc. do support more than 2 CPUs and
actually use them.
