| We have recently bought a dual-CPU system and will install windows 2000
| Server on it. However, when the unit arrived, it came with a single
| CPU. And we have to wait almost a month for the second one.
|
| Now, we do not want to wait for the CPU before taking the system
| online, so we decided to use the server as-is, and add tbe CPU when it
| arrives.
|
| The question we have is: Does Windows 2000 Server install or configure
| itself differently (and so run better)when installed on a system with
| two CPUs in place ? Or is it the same with the single cpu installation
| and Windows will happily use the second CPU after it arrives ?
|
| Are there any licensing issues to look for when installing on a single
| CPU and then adding the second one ?
|
| Many thanks in advance
