I have a server running dual Xeon processors which is a
fisrt for me. Do I have to make any changes to the
operating system in order to utilize both cpu's or does
the operating system handle that? Thanks!

Task Manager|Performance If you see dual usage history graphs then you're
set.

Ok, I looked in Task Manager/Performance and I only see
one graph for the cpu. What should I do now? Also, I'm
not totaly sure I'm reading the info right. I have one
graph for CPu usage, one graph for CPU usage History. Am
I suppose to two of everything?
 
You should have two for "CPU usage History"

Ok, I was able to change the settings from uniprocessor
to muliprocessor. One last question. When I go to task
manager/performance, I now have four windows. Is this
correct, because I thought I would only have two. Thanks!
 
You probably have processors that support Hyper-Threading
