Number of CPUs for SQL Server 2005 Express Edition ??

[Guest Josep]

I've seen in Microsoft webpage

(http://www.microsoft.com/sql/prodinfo/features/compare-features.mspx) that

Express Edition it uses only one CPU. But is just one physical CPU or one

"virtual" CPU.

 

I mean. If I've one Intel Quad, will it use all CPUs or just one of the 4th

CPUs?

 

 

Thank you in advance,

 

Josep.

I don't understand your question but the standard answer to THIS question

follows:

 

Does a single CPU with multiple cores count as one or multiple CPUs?

 

A single CPU with multiple cores counts as ONE CPU for licensing and

product "restriction" purposes.

Thank you!

 

That was my question (althought I didn't explain myself very good).
