Windows xp home edition support up to_________ processors

Hello,

It's the MB chipset and BIOS revisions available that determine which processors are supported, not Windows XP.

XP Home supports just one processor - but it may have as many cores as you like.

A single processor can have up to 6 cores at the moment.

The programs or games you use must be designed to use more than one core otherwise the remaining cores will just be idling.

That's not entirely accurate, is it. Just look at all the processes running in the background whilst you are running XP. As long as XP supports multiple cores it can share the workload for all processes amogst those cores.
