Nt will automatically use the multi procesor kernel. You should not have to do anything. But, I would reinstall the sp just to play it safe.

Depends on the manufacturer. Compaq and IBM have a HAL update utility that will update the HAL from UNI to Multi processor kernal. Microsoft has a resource kit utility called UPTOMP that you can use but the vendors utilities are MUCH easier.

All can be found in Microsoft's Knowledge base. Do not believe for a second that this is a plug and play operation. You will be sadly surprised if you do.

Glad to help in any wayI can.
