Innocent Devil Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 why not ??? if u have dual Opteron X2or Dual Xeon Dual core that support X64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Windows XP x64 is limited to two processors, but it counts by socket, not by core. Therefore, two dual-core processors would show up and work properly as 4 processors in Windows XP x64. However, if you install XP x64 on a machine with 4 (or more) physical processors, you'll onlly see and be able to use two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-I- Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 if i only had sutch a system LOL but in the end it only would have about dubled the price for buying it... i found that my computer (to have the exact same specs ans my current machine but with 2 instead of 1 cpu would have cost me over 400 euro extra... (E500- x 1.25 = $625 usd)so i as, why the hell would have such money but is unwilling to spend the extra $$ on software... as even the a low-budget quad-core machine (4x 1.8ghz) is way beyond any requirements for a home office pc... unless you want to build yourself a realtime airplain sim in your hobby-room...

ripken204 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 cluberti- do u have any clue why that is? how about 32bit, how many can u have for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluberti Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Same as with 32bit - XP is limited to 2 processors for licensing reasons, not technical (same as the 10 inbound connection limit). However, processors are licensed per socket, not per core. Therefore, dual proc dual core will indeed yield 4 processors in Windows XP, x64 or x86.

ripken204 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 well its just that ive seen what i thought was xp with 16 processors, unless thats MS server? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen2 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 XP license is for 1-2 processor(s). 2003 entreprise license is limited to 8 processors. I'm not sure if the datacenter license can support more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 now by virtual do you mean hyperthreading? or do you mean dual/quad core? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hyperthreaded/physical cores counts as virtual processors and will appear to Windows as one physical one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puggsley Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 (edited) heres the support,Xp home - 1 physical 2 virtualXp pro (and 64 bit) - 2 physical 4 virutal2000 pro - 2 physical or 2 virtual2000 server standard - 2 physical or 2 virtual2000 server advanced - 16 physical or 16 virtual2003 server standard / small business - 2 physical or 4 virtual2003 server enterprise - 64 physical or 128 virtuala virtual cpu would be from hyperthreading, not dual cores.2003 Datacenter Edition supports 168 Physical Processors and I think 672 Virtual Processors. It's only limited to that because of Hardware addressing! This would be a VERY quick machine (Expensive as well!)
