All versions of Vista support a dual core processor. Same for quad core. Home Basic and Home Premium only support a single processor socket, but that can be a single multi-core processor in that socket. Business, Enterprise and Ultimate support two processor sockets, again that could be a multi-core processor in each socket. -- Tom Porterfield |

| Re: Which version support dual core or quad core? My 2 cents, In summary, cores in CPUs is designed to be independent to OS, and it's just how much the applications (including OS) can take advantages of its processing power.

| Re: Which version support dual core or quad core? Another interpretation is that the each cpu is a physical processor and each core is a logical processor. You can see the logical processors on the Performance Tab in Task Manager. There will be a CPU Usage History graph for each logical processor. Home editions can be installed on boards with one physical processor. Business editions can be installed on boards with one or two physical processors. Boards with more physical processors require one of the Server editions. Hyperthreading doubles the number of logical processors so an Intel P4 with hyperthreading enabled appears exactly the same as an Intel Core Duo, Core 2 Duo, or AMD64 x2 on the Performance Tab. All editions of XP, Vista, and Server work the same in this regard.

| Re: Which version support dual core or quad core? Hi, Thanks and exactly as you mentioned, but here is one thing that I don't know: > Home editions can be installed on boards with one physical processor. > Business editions can be installed on boards with one or two physical > processors. Is above bound to license or is by design of the software? I don't know much about the architectures of Vista, XP, or even Win3.1 for that matter :) "Colin Barnhorst" <colinbarharst(remove)@msn.com> wrote in message news:%23ex1$PXFHHA.2464@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Another interpretation is that the each cpu is a physical processor and > each core is a logical processor.

| Re: Which version support dual core or quad core? By the way, I shall rephrase the question so it may be more clear: By design means, it can't be installed and used on a board with two physical CPUs, whilst, it can be installed and used except it violates the license.

What Mike said. It's an "artificial" software restriction to support a licence condition. Effectively a bit of code somewhere says "If operating system edition = home edition of some kind, only support one CPU socket". |
