I just got a new server with dual dual Core Xeons and got to thinking of the new quad core that will be out later this year.
Im plaining to update my PC soon and I was going to hold off for the quad core. Then this question came to mind "Can windows XP handle quad core cpus?"
I havent been able to find any info on this and wonder if its actually going to be a problem. Does anyone know if Windows will see these processors as 1 physical processor or 4. If its 4 then it will only use 2 because Windows XP maximum is 2 processors.
