Hi,
I have a PC using a dual cpu capable motherboard, running Windows XP Pro.
I am adding a second cpu to the system and am trying to find out how to upgrade to a Multiprocessor HAL.
In Windows 2000, this was just a simple upgrade through Device Manager, without the need to re-install IE: Changing from ACPI PC to ACPI Multiprocessor PC, but this option doesn't seem to be available in XP.
I thought maybe XP would automatically upgrade, but this doesn't seem to be the case as Task Manager is still reporting only one cpu.
Is there a way of upgrading to a Multi Processor HAL in XP without re-installing/repairing?
Seems odd that 2k had the option, but XP doesn't.
Any help is appreciated.
Thx
