Dual Opteron 275's - are they supported?
 

Can the x64 version of windows support 4 processors?
(I'm assuming the dual core AMDs are treated as 2 physical processors.)

Thanks in advance.

Re: Dual Opteron 275's - are they supported?
 

No, dual core processors are treated as a single processor for licensing
purposes.

So XP x64 supports up to 2 dual core processors (4 cores)

Processors are counted per socket, not per core, so your dual 275's are
counted as 2 processors for licensing purposes. This means they ARE supported
by XP.

blog.

Windows XP Pro x64 edition supports up to 8 concurrent threads (2 processors,
with 2 cores each, and 2 threads per core).

Don't worry Christian, it seems that Charlie has it under control.
