I could have sworn that I read that it would handle multiple processors.

What exactly do you mean by that? I'm not the best networking guy in the
world, but so far the networking has been much easier to deal with on XPH

Even ME will do that, but I've heard that XP does have the memory hole
problem and that it doesn't. I have a gig of RAM and a 5 gig partition on a
2nd drive for the swap file and have had no problems even with over a month
of uptime and lots of starting and stopping big, nasty games, though I
usually reboot once a week just to clean things up.
