I am building a new quad core box and I was wondering if XP supports more than two cores. Does anyone know? I might make it dual boot to run some benchmarks but I bet you guys probably know the answer already. I hope I don't need to buy Vista!

Everything I've read says WinXP 32 bit, recognizes quads just fine. Still dual core myself.

Here are severak resources that answer your question, tb.

Tomshardware.

PCSTATS.

Gamespot.

Techarena Forums.

And M.S. itself speaks regarding licensing, of course:

Microsoft.

Thanks B and MBF too! Looks like I have some reading to do. I did not go to microsoft.com because it takes me forever to find stuff there. Thanks for the help.

You are always welcome, D. My pleasure. All I did was sculpt the appropriate question and google it.
