XP Home or XP Pro to run a dually.
I have a chance to get a Fijitsu-Siemens dual Xeon computer and was wondering if XP Home will run the dually or would I need XP Pro?

Apparently you can use either version. There are a couple if Windows issues with dual procs and both of these artiles mention Home and Pro. Here and Here
Do you have some pretty big applications that can take advantage od dullies? I believe there is only one game on the market that can if your a gamer.

No big apps to run, was thinking of running folding@home. Since this system is free, don't want to spend a bunch of money on an OS(got the XP Home upgrade rebate special from CompUSA for $50)

Pro is needed to run two seperate processors. Home will apparently run dual core units.
