Hi,
Would Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz Socket processor
be a multiple core CPU or dual processor cpu?
And would Windows Xp pro support this?

CPU = Central Processing Unit = Processor
It's a single processor made of two cores, so it's a dual core processor.
Yes it is supported by Windows XP.

It's a dual-core processor that was designed to kick AMD ass and that's exaclty what it did ;) THe E6600 is based on the Conroe core and is a good solid CPU! I used to run an E6700 till i upgraded to a quad-core CPU.

It has two CPUs in one. So it looks like one, but it's two.
And yes, XP Pro supports it fine.

My E6700 stomps all over my OC'd AMD 4800X2.
Thanks
