Quick, stupid question.

I was thinking of building a new pc and was interested in the duel core/core
duo cpu's. Is windows xp or any software capable of actually using the duel
core type cpu's or does it just use it as a normal cpu?

Thanks

Joe

Sure. All versions of XP, including XP Home, support both processors.

Tom

When I bought this dual processor CPU, my research on Microsoft's site indicated that XP Home would not support dual processors.

If I read it wrong, I wasted some money, I guess, but if I read it right, the OP should be aware of this :-)
