Windows XP Pro SP1 and Dual Core Processors.

Recently I heard someone say that Dual Core Processors are not compatible with Windows XP SP1.

I own an XP Pro disc at home that was before SP2 and was going to install it with my new computer which will include an Intel Duo 2. Of course I will upgrade to SP2, but I just want to make sure if there aren't any problems with this type of situation.

I was just wondering if this was true?

XP SP1 is compatible with dual core processors. SP2 increases the compatibility especially with power saving options.
If you're doing a fresh install, dont install SP1 and then upgrade to SP2. Create an XP SP2 installation disk by slipstreaming: http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...slipstream.asp
