Witt3439 Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 It's still only a single CPU. The EULA means no more than two individual CPUs by themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitroshift Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Put it this way: although Core2Duo and Core2Quad are multi-core processors they still are 1 single physical processor (2 logical processors, respectively 4 logical processors). The term "2 cpu's" in EULA means 2 physical processors. Hope I made it clear enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The term "2 cpu's" in EULA means 2 physical processors. Hope I made it clear enough.Do note however that windows 2000 (not xp and up though) sees cores as individual processors. Meaning a quad core processor is seen as 4 processors. Windows XP recognizes individual cores though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeadDude Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 does the w2k eula say no more than 2 cpus? if so, then you can't run a quad core on w2k... that is crazy.then again... 4 cores with w2k could be called crazy by some.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
