no. by default windows only uses one.
if you go into msconfig > boot > advanced options > check mark number of processors > and set it to the max. Dont worry about the memory as it does utilize it and changing it in there, ive never been able to document an increase in performance.

Finally got around to setting up that machine with the vertex4 SSD. Its a dell optiplex with 8GB ram, i5 3.40ghz, 256gb SSD, sata III, and win 7 pro. After tweaking everything, like where the OS boots using all cpu cores, disabling the PXE boot and all since none of that is needed, from a cold start, to windows desktop and being 100% useable (i.e. launching programs and surfing net), and with typing in a complex password, 26.1 seconds. friggin love it!
I took the password off. 21sec
My pos takes several minutes to boot up.
