Dual Processor Support x4

[Justin]

I was wondering how to get WinXP to show running four
processors when having dual xeon 2.4ghz processors. a
friend of mine had it set up this way before i had to
restore WinXP. Any suggestions?

Justin,

How could Windows show four processors if it is a dual system?

Windows XP Pro only supports up to two processors.
Windows Server 2003 Web Edition supports up to 2
Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition supports up to 4
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition supports up to 8

Thanks Andrej,

Looks like I've been away from the processor scene for too long.
