How do you upgrade an XP pro machine to dual processor? I've already
added the second processor and turned it on in the BIOS. Do I need to
reinstall XP?

Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up the Task Manager.

Go to the Performance tab. Does it show 2 CPU Usage and CPU Usage
History windows or just one? If it shows two then XP is detecting
and therefore using both CPUs.

Good luck
