I do apologize that you felt that "Odd # of CPUs other than 1" and "RTM Install, when no service pack or hotfix was mentioned" were "unbelievable provisos" and will certainly try to be more careful of my wording in the future.Kenneth
On reflection, I think my comments were probably over the top. I was looking at the world through a haze of annoyment with my telephone provider, and it wasn't fair to allow that to prejudice my view of the question.
Perfectly understandable, every telephone provider I've ever worked with has driven me into a blind rage every now and again.
I will say that I could have worded the question and answer a little more explicetly and part of it (as I look back at the KB article) has to do with my lack of knowledge about multicore processors etc.
