My copy of Windows XP Pro says it's for "1-2 CPUs". I'm curious - does this mean it can't legally be installed on a Quad-core Intel Core 2 chip? Secondly, does this mean it *can* be installed on two single-core chips? It's not very clear.

I should clarify - by two single core chips, I mean, two separate PCs, each with 1 single core CPU.

This license means that you can install Windows on a single PC that has one or two physical CPUs. These can be two dual-core or two quad-core CPUs. It does NOT mean you can install it on two separate PCs.

thats just for the ammount of systems that you can install it on. has nothink to do with the specification or hardware support.
after all, you cant install 3 windows XP's onto a single system now can you??
