A64 dual CPU MS Patch?
Basically, nothing additional is needed.
A couple of months ago, I swapped an X2 CPU into a system that had previously had a single core (Newcastle) processor installed. XP Home SP2 detected the new CPU and automatically installed the new multi-processor HAL. (XP home doesn't support multiple sockets, but it'll support a dual core CPU in a single-socket mainboard.) A new install of XP should work as well. AMD offers some dual-core "drivers" for download, but all that they seem to do is allow Windows to clock down the CPU when it is idle. That would be of more interest on a laptop machine. I haven't tried them on my desktop. Address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn. "Christy" wrote in message ...
