st: Stata MP and Windows Server

["Tim R. Sass" <tsass@fsu.edu>]

I am running Stata MP (licensed for 8 processors) on a machine with four 
dual-core opteron CPUs (8 cores in all).  The OS is Windows Server 2003, 
standard edition.  Despite Microsoft's original claims, Windows task 
manager only indicates 4 processors and Stata will not let me set procs_use 
to more than four processors with the current setup.

I am considering changing the OS to Windows Server Enterprise Edition, but 
want to make sure this will solve the problem before I go ahead.  Is anyone 
out there running Stata MP on an 8-core machine using Windows?  If so, what 
flavor of Windows do you use?

Thanks,
Tim
