    windows Q's

    If vista Home is licenced for two CPUs and its on a 4 CPU system what does it do with the extra CPUs? Just disable them?
    Things I've fixed: anything from semis to crappy Chinese $2 radios, and now an IoT Dildo....

    Excuse me while i do something dangerous


    You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

    Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

      Vista Home supports 1 physical CPU and multiple cores.

      Vista Business supports 2 physical CPU's and multiple cores.

          Brethin is right, it goes by physical processors. Multiple cores or hyperthreading do not count.

              OK. Thank you! The windows license had me a tad confused.

                  But what does it do if you have too many physical processors?
