Hello,

I have Compaq Proliant 5000 whose support max 4 CPUs Pentium Pro. I plugged 4 units with identical stepping and windows 200 Profesional show only 2 This Windows not support 4 CPUs ? If yes what Windows system you prefer for small server (internet gate and files upload) ?

Marcin, have you tried windows 2000 server edtion ? that might solve your problem... by the way if you use XP on other computers dont forget to patch W2K server, there are security protocole compatibility issuses

Hi,
if you want a 4-way processor server you must use linux or win 200x server. Nor win 2k and win xp pro support more than 2 cpus.

I found information exactly same as you said Windows 2000 Prof support max 2 CPU, 2000 Server max 4 CPU, 2000 Advanced Server max 8 CPU. We will have that last version soon

Thanks all for help

Thanks for link. I think Windows 2003 will work too on this machine but I already installed Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Works very good
