It sounded good but in the case of Windows 9x, one CPU or one core in the case of multi-core CPUs, was all that would ever be recognised, This isn’t to say that Windows 9x wouldn’t run on a multi-CPU/core PC because it would, but only ever use one of them. In the old days before multi-core CPUs, not so far back to the days when there was one primary CPU socket and another for a co-processor, if you had a motherboard which had two processor sockets, 1 and 2, the setting in MSCONFIG would allow the user to inform Windows that there would be two CPUs available. I honestly believed that it was a throwback or compatibility issue with multi-socket motherboards which used to be more freely available than they are now. For a while now, I have been making a wrong assumption about the ‘number of processors’ setting in MSCONFIG.
