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.....
