Microsoft announced on August 16, 1999 that the final release version of Windows 2000 would provide better multiprocessing support that was previously announced. Specifically, the Server Edition was bumped from 2 to 4 four processor support, the Advanced Server Edition was bumped from 4 to 8 processor support, and the DataCenter Server Edition was bumped to 32 processor capability. Professional Edition, with support for up to two processors, is unchanged.
