I have an older Dell machine with 2 Xeon processors running at 2.8.
It has 2megs of RAM. 73 gig HD.
XP Pro is installed. It runs fine. However...
Is there anyway of knowing if it is actually using both processors??

Task Manager?
P4's with Hyper- threading switched on Show as 2 processors.
Quad cores show as 4 running.

I did not think that XP would run on a Xeon. The XP Spec sheet does not list
Xeon.
Dell does not offer XP on a Xeon (My boss went and bought a Xeon based system,
sans-O/S to replace a dead Dell P4, thinking to reinstall XP on the more
"durable" hardware).
