If this was an existing machine that had a single core machine that had its CPU upgraded you will need to switch the OS from a uniprocessor setup to a multiprocessor setup.
That's it. I just found the microsoft KB article that explains how to do that. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19482855 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 23:19:49 EDT Re: Is there a W2K update to run dual core processors? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19482328 PetePuma : By default it should use both since it appears to the OS as 2 CPUs. XP and later have some more sophisticated detecgtion and process scheduling for multi-core, but it should utilize both cores under 2k as well.

That is utilizing both cores rather than running them only as if they were a single core cpu.

A) the AMD Opties or AM2's?

B) the Intel Core2Duo's?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,19482260 Tue, 20 Nov 2007 21:55:35 EDT
