Very glad ; also that they did not do like major Linux vendors to opt for
DMA IOMMU bypass >4GB to accommodate Intel instead of AMD.

Microsoft only distributes XP Professional 32-bit with 2 processor support
through OEM and volume license, right?

The Windows XP Professional 32 (x86) or 64bit (x64) is licensed for 2 CPU
sockets.
So you can see up to 8 CPUs in the tools if you have 2 dual cored
