XP Home Edition is limited to one processor DIE. It can have any number of CORES. XP can see all of the cores of a Core 2 Quad, for instance. Even if the system in question had two separate die, or chips, XP would still work. It just wouldn't be able to use the second processor.
A multi-core processor is one which combines what are essentially multiple CPUs into a single chip. As far as the operating system and other software are concerned, it is the same as a dual or quad-cpu computer system, even though the cpus are physically one single unit.

Microprocessor is a single chip processor.
In a multicore or multi-CPU system, processor affinity refers to what cores or CPUs a given process can run on. The application can be forced to prefer some cores or processors over others.
Multi-processing is the capability to support and utilize multiple processor at the same in a computer
It can use either.
seems you are a bit confused there,eh! it seems that u mean uni-core-processor and multi-core-processor. uni simply means 1 so its obvious it is a single core processor. (for eg. Pentium 4's) multi means multiple, so its obvious it is a multiple cores processor. (for eg. core2duo has 2 cores, core2quad has 4 cores, phenom ii x6 110t has 6 cores and so on)
