I'm planning on purchasing a motherboard.
I want to purchase a dual processor board, but plan to buy the second processor later on. I would like to know if i can run just one processor and at a later time install the other. I'm wondering if i can run only one processor on a dual processor board or if i need both processors?

Yes, you can run just one if you want.

You can run with only one processor, just be sure that the operating system you're planning on using supports dual processors. If it doesn't, save your money on the dual proc motherboard, and put it towards ram or something else.
