If you want Windows to recognize more than 2 cpu's, you need to be sure you get the right version of Windows. Yes, they have Windows editions that will recognize a lot more cpu's but, they're server editions, and although they very smartly are now working with 64 bit software as well as 32 bit stuff, they are NOT cheap.
