I have a new PC with 2 processors. How do I know that the
computer is taking advantage of both processors? Is there
a setting somewhere that I need to enable?

Thanks!

I don't have the definative answer on this. But you could open up your task
manager and see how the work is being distributed to both CPUs. Your task
manager should have a visual representation for each CPU. Remember that the
software has to be written for SMP to take advantage of multi-processors.
Additionally, your Windows XP should be installed while both processors are
online.
