[Vidar Jensen]

Hi!
I have a Proliant 800, Dual Ppro200, which running XP pro.It works perfect as server at home. But I can´t get XP to see the second cpu. It shows in post, so the problem is in XP. Is there anyone here who please can help m

Firstly, please note that Compaq server products only support "server" OS, therefore, XP Pro is not a supported OS.

You can take a look at the following MS KB on how to add multi processor
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;234558

Please note that there are also additional issues on multiprocessor with Compaq server which may (or may not) be affecting your system:

*Windows 2000 Setup Detects Only One CPU on Some Compaq Servers

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;252326

*Windows Server 2003 May Not Use Multiple Processors with Some Pentium Pro or Pentium II Processors

Hope this helps.

Hi!
Thanks for the reply. I have tryed to change the driver from "standard pc", but XP don´t give me any choises, so I guess W2K server is the only sollution.
