which patches optimise XP for multi core processors? Sunday, May 10, 2009 at 11:55 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Kristian (30 messages posted) my current xp+sp2 installation hasn't given me much to complain about (although it remains windows). By the end of the year I plan to upgrade my pc and will have a double core processor (probably Intel). Since I read mixed comments about sp3 I am not anxious to install it. My current installation is slimmed, and although dated, never had any malware to worry about or other problems. The upgrade(s) I will probably be most interested in is the one for better support for multiprocessors, since I believe that was better supported in sp3. On the helpwithwindows.com site the (complete?) patches included in sp3 were listed, but I don't see anything related to an OS optimisation for multiple cores. Can someone give me any advice which patch(es) to use for this, or at least are a valuable update to the performance in general?
