XP (all flavours) will support dual and quad cores, but ONLY if it was installed on a multicore system. You cannot replace a single core CPU with a multi core one under XP. It will only see the first core. You would need to reinstall XP.

How your programs are written has something to do with it. -- My in-line street skates. http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/2565924423/ Currently filtering out most Google Groups posts/branches.
