Anyone know what is the max core support for Vista Business

Microsoft licenses Windows by number of physical processors, not logical ones (cores). all except for Home Basic support up to 2 physical processors

yeap look like they will support 2 physical processor with multiple core. I just order quad core Xeon system with 2 physical processor, I just hope the Vista Business support it. but as for licenses concern, I am not too worry about it... http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/h...multicore.mspx I just want to make sure the system I order will support all the core I have under vista

Well system is here, XP/Vista 32 bit being gay and see only 3.25GB ram. I load in the professional XP64 it see all 4 gb and seem to be faster, I have not have much time test it out, but in a next few day I will try to see if I can get me a Vista 64 bit some where and test it out.
I got 16GB ram and second process on order, it should be here soon.....
