I'm curious as to how the BS limitations on CPUs work. Has anyone run it with 2 quad core chips? I'm inclined to believe that would work, but the only info I've been seeing is "2 physical CPUs, 4 virtual" and no mention of physical cores.

XP counts the number of sockets, not cores - 2xQuad will work under XP Pro or XP x64 (I have done it).
