Intel boards with Intel Chipsets running Intel Pentium Xeon Processors -
high end workstations in other words. As far as Graphs shown in Task
manager, it depends on whether you choose "One Graph, All CPUs" or "One
Graph Each CPU", where I normally choose the latter.

Just to clarify, you can visually see the load being distributed beween
both CPUs, I've heard that some boards have dual CPU sockets but they
don't load balance very well. Do you get pretty good noticable
performance from the dual?
So what kind of board and processors do you run intel or amd?

XP Pro (both 32 and 64 bit) support 2 separate physical CPU sockets. If
in
each socket you have 2 dual core processors and each of those
processors are
also hyperthreaded (and enabled in the BIOS), then XP thinks the system
has
8 virtual processors and uses as the load requires.
Speaking from experience, my 32-bit dual processor hyperthreaded
system
shows 4 processors and my 64-bit dual, dual-core hyperthreaded system
shows
8, and each always shows something happening in there.

Below is an excerpt from the FAQ section in the Multicore licensing
section of the Microsoft web page. The FAQ states that Windows XP
can
support 2 processors. Has anyone had any experience running dual
processors, and if so what board/processors did you use? I want to
build a multi-processor system, but I don't want to end up building a
system that is not compatible with running 32bitWinXP. Any help
would
be greatly appreciated!
Q. How does this licensing policy affect products such as Microsoft
Windows XP Professional?
A. Microsoft Windows XP Professional and Microsoft Windows XP Home
are
not affected by this policy as they are licensed per installation and
not per processor. Windows XP Professional can support up to two
processors regardless of the number of cores on the processor.
Microsoft Windows XP Home supports one processor.
