Adding a CPU

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.setup_deployment (More info?)

I want to add a second CPU to a couple of my Win2K servers; I know with
Windows NT it would not simply recognize and use the new processor without OS
modifications. I couldn't find anything specifically on TechNet, but a
couple of articles seem to imply I don't need to do anything except plug it
in. Is that corrrect?

TIA,

Possibly but just in case.

Thanks for pointing me to that...strangely enough, one type of
multi-processor capable servers I have shows "ACPI MultiProc", whether or not
one or more processors are installed; my other servers all show "ACPI
UniProc", so I'm guessing those will need to have the HAL changed.

Anyway, thanks again Dave.
