Does Windows XP Support Dual Processors?

    Background

    • Advanced computers such as graphics workstations are sometimes available with two separate processors (CPUs.) It is necessary to use an operating system able to support multiple processors in order to use these machines. Windows XP Professional supports dual processors.

    Uses

    • Demanding computer users, such as graphic artists, programmers and video editors can benefit from using a computer with two separate processors. These computers are able to process more information and are therefore faster than their single processor equivalents.

    Alternative

    • Modern computers are available with dual or quad core processors that integrate multiple processor cores within a single processor. These processors offer similar benefits to a multiple processor machine.
