Which version of vista would I need, to run all full power
As they say.

2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q6600
Is what I will be running in a few days... HO HO

It comes with vista premium 32bit, which
I've been told DOESN'T run all 4 processor
At the same time.


Thanks -
Richard
 
Hi Richard,

All editions of Vista can support multiple core CPUs, but only Business,
Ultimate and Enterprise can support dual processors. Since the Core2 Quad is
not a "true" quad core, I'm not certain how Home Premium would see the
CPU...as a quad core or as two dual cores. Perhaps someone who frequents the
Vista newsgroups would know the answer, so I would suggest posting your
question in one of those newsgroups.
