Your PC’s Performance Features
Advantages of Dual Processor Configurations
Advantages of Dual Processor Configurations
Although the Pentium Pro processor in your PC is the most powerful
processor currently used by any HP Vectra PC, one HP Vectra is able to
offer an even higher processing performance: your HP Vectra XU! This
is possible because your PC can use not one, but two of these advanced
processors when running certain operating systems.
Two Processors Can Be
Better Than One
The Pentium Pro processor in your PC is installed in a socket for easy
upgrading. Your PC’s System board also provides another socket, for
installation of a second Pentium Pro processor.
Your HP Vectra XU PC is fully compliant with the Intel Multiprocessor
Specification (MPS) for dual processing in PCs. This standard defines
how multiple processors work with a single set of system memory and
I/O resources.
The HP Vectra XU supports symmetric multiprocessing, which means
that each processor can perform any task. Symmetric multiprocessors
appear to the user as a single, more powerful processor.
