Does it? If so that's ok. Just please let me know.


It had been some time since I looked so I found this feature comparison on Microsoft's web site. Under "Scalable processor support" it indicates that XP pro is required for (2) CPUs. Although this was probably written before the dual core CPUs became available I would image the requirement would be the same.
