Number Of Processors

HI: Proliant ML750 says up to 8 processors. Compatible with win 2000 Server .

Win 2000 server says: Interested in multiprocessor support for your servers? Windows 2000 Server lets up to four processors be used in each server.

Is it 4 or 8 ???

Re: Number Of Processors MORE

HP 8000 and ML750 have up to 8 processors.

Processors are Pentium III Xeon.

Spec sheets for Intel Pentum III Xeon 900 both say SMP #CPU': 4

Can't reconcile in my mind: 8 Processors in server and 4 max SMP.

What don't I understand?

Thanks

Robert
