rluka Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 When installing XP Pro "f5" can be pressed and you are given a few options and one of them is for running on computor with dual processors.Should this option be chosen when loading the OS on a newer duo core laptop or should I just choose "Standard PC"ThanksRon L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Let it autodetect (it will choose the correct ACPI/APIC and multiproc kernel). There's no need to do it automatically, XP setup will detect processors automatically.Are you using F5 for a specific reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rluka Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 I am using WinXP Pro for multi track (music) recording and was told that setting it up as a Standard PC by using "f5" would be the best for my kind of setup.Thanks for the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 If your XP CD is Service Pack 2, it will automatically detect whether you are using a single or multi-core processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
