Duel processor use with Windows Vista x64

[Guest David Manvell]

I currently have a Dell precision PC with 2 duel core Xeon 3.2 GHz Processors

and am running Windows XP x64. I will be upgrading soon to one of the Windows

Vista x64 versions and I need to know which versions support multiple duel

core processors.

I believe that Vista Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate will support

two physical CPUs. Any of these would also support multiple cores on

those CPUs.

Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium can only use one socket (CPU).

Vista Business and Vista Ultimate can use two sockets. Of course, whether

the processors in those sockets are single core or multicore is irrelevant

(some folks confuse cpu's and cores).
