Hi, It is based on sockets, not cores: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2008/en/us/compare-specs.aspx
It was the same in Windows Server 2003 Cheers Ken From: Kelsay, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 15 May 2008 5:06 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Little fuzzy Thanks. Knew about the RAM just was fuzzy on the way Microsoft viewed CPU's. Mark From: Miller Bonnie L.

Now, if you also have over 4GB of RAM, that could be a reason to look at Enterprise or x64 Standard. -Bonnie From: Kelsay, Mark [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 6:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Little fuzzy I have read several explanations on the web but still a little confused. If I have an HP server with a two quad core CPU's does Windows see that as two CPU's, (I know in task manager it will show 8 individual CPU's), or does it see it as 8 CPU's. The reason I ask this is, if I am going to install Windows 2003 Server can I install the Standard version, which is good up to 4 CPU's or do I need Enterprise?
