Installing 2003 Advanced on system with dual core

[Zych]

I am planning to install Windows 2003 Advanced Server on a system that has a dual core cpu. Later I want to add an extra CPU to this box. The question is if Windows 2003 Advanced server installs SMP support on a system like this so later when I install the second CPU it will be supported.

Thanks,

Zych

I'm 90% certain it does, but even if it didn't, adding a second processor is not difficult - you just upgrade the "computer" driver and you'll be fine.

Greggy has the nice description of changing this in this link:
