Windows XP supports multiple CPUs out of the box. No further adjustment is needed.
IF you change processor on the motheboard, it will automatically detect that. But it is posibility, that it will be nessesary to reinstal windows, because they wont recognize new CPU
The entire set of instuctions that a CPU can execute is known as the CPU INSTUCTION SET.
The Functions of the instruction set is to instruct All CPU's with a set of instructions: Tells the CPU where to find data When to read the data What to do with the data. Hope that helps Don
the VLIF socket is used to make use of the set screw to lock the CPU into place.
A thread in a CPU is a sequence of instructions that the CPU can execute independently from other threads. Each thread has its own program counter, stack pointer, and set of registers. The CPU switches between threads to give the appearance of running multiple tasks simultaneously.
If you have multiple monitor ports the set up is easy, just plug in the other one. Without alternate ports you would probably need to have some sort of splitter set up for the monitor port or find another connection for the monitor, like USB.
When CPUs first started coming out, and for many years after, they could only execute one set of instructions at a time. After awhile, interfaces were built to support having multiple CPUs running at the same time to increase the horsepower of a machine. These CPUs had distinct packaging still, but now the computer as a whole could execute a set of instructions per CPU. CPU manufacturers started placing multiple CPUs in one distinct package and also included the interface for the CPUs to talk within this package. So even though you had one product, it could execute multiple instructions at one time. Core is a marketing term to let people know the number of independent sets of instructions that a single CPU package can execute.
They tell the CPU where to find the data, when to read it, and what to do with it.
It is a system of coded numbers that when read by the CPU control unit are interpreted as commands for the various operations it can perform. Each different type of CPU has a differently coded instruction set.
This site is set up for Q&A rather than computer centric software and hardware support. Have you tried any of the Windows support sites or the support site for the machine described
If you have a low-end chip set or the motherboard doesn't support the CPU, or in low-end environments.
The set of instructions, on the CPU chip, that the computer can perform directly.
