That is incorect, multiple processors on single die (same socket) count as one processor only. A dual core or quad core is licensed as a single processor.

For processorlicenses a quadcore is one physical processor.
For symetric multiprocessing, a quadcore is 4 cpu's.
So, std edition supports 4 single core cpu's, 2 dual core's or 1 quad core.

Hi,

A single quad core processor will be be display as 4 cpu in windows

My question is, can windows 2003 standard server(32 bit) support 2x Intel quad core processor ?
