DRSINC Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I know that Windows XP Pro will support dual processors, but how does it show in the device manager? If you are using dual Xeon Processors (with Hyperthreading) does is show as 2 physical CPU or will it show as 4 CPU's? If is shows with 4 CPU's does it take advantage of the HT? If not in order to take advantage of the dual processors with HT will I need to move to Server (Standard or Enterprise)? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiGGiTY Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Windows XP will take advantage of Dual Xeon processors. The real advantage, though, is for applications that can take advantage of HT. As a workstation operating system, I'd stick with XP. Dual Xeon's show up as 4 CPU's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xla76 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 In answer to your question; 1 hyperthreading cpu will show up as 2 separate cpu's. I know this from experience. Therefore I think it is safe to assume that 2 hyperthreading cpu's will show up as four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
