Some guy at a store noticed that a friend of mine was purchasing a Q6600. He then started asking him if he was using XP or Vista. The guy said that XP won't recognize all four cores so he must upgrade to Vista. I had my suspicions from the start mainly because I noticed that the man telling my friend this was a store employee.

Hello everyone,
I have a quick question for all of you. I have heard rumors that Windows XP will only recognize and use two of the four cores in a Quad Core CPU. Is this correct?
Personally, I do not believe this but I would rather be positive.
