Can some one tell me what happens when a system has dual processors. Do they
share process time (time share) or what?

Are you talking about the dual core processors like AMDs new ones or
are you talking about running two seperate processors?

Unimportant, in terms of OS implementation it's essentially the same.

2 physical control processor units are only supported by XP Pro. Only some
applications can use both as well. Intel would have better idea how this
works internally.
