I read on Microsoft's website that "Scalable processor support – up to two-way multi-processor support." is only available with WinXP Pro, not home. Since Intel Pentium D is a multicore processor, does it need WinXP Pro in order to take full advantage of this? Or is it not truly two separate processors?
