Windows Vista: Dual-core and 64-bit support
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006
Myth: Some versions of Windows Vista won’t support dual-core CPUs or 64-bit 
processors.
Reality: Every Vista version supports dual-core processors, and every version is available in a 64-bit native version as well.
Part of the confusion rests with the specifications for some fairly exotic hardware. If you have a PC with multiple physical CPUs - that is, two or more chips installed on the motherboard - you’ll need Windows Vista Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate to take advantage of both CPUs. If you install Vista Home Basic or Home Premium, the OS will only recognize one CPU. That’s similar to the way Windows XP works today - if have a dual-CPU machine, you need to install XP Professional to use both CPUs. ยป Vista Mythbusters #2: Dual-core and 64-bit support | Ed Bott’s Microsoft Report | ZDNet.com
