You have a Windows XP computer that can support two processors. Which of the following should you do so that the second processor will be recognized when it is installed?
  1. In the Device Manager, access the computer’s properties and enable the Allow Multiple Processors option.
  2. In the Control Panel, access System Properties, open the Advanced tab, and enable the Allow Multiple Processors option.
  3. Nothing needs to be done. It will be installed by default.
  4. Update the driver to support multiple processors.
Explanation
Answer - D - To be able to install the second processor on the computer, you would need to update the driver to support multiple processors.

Key Takeaway: Computers with multiple processors are typically designed for one of two architectures: non-uniform memory access (NUMA) or symmetric multiprocessing (SMP). In a NUMA computer, each processor is closer to some parts of memory than others, making memory access faster for those parts than the other parts. In an SMP computer, two or more identical processors, or cores, connect to a single shared main memory.
