Geared Toward Multiple CPUs?

[kawika]

Someone explained to me when I first started reading about EQEmu and the software that the code is geared toward multiple CPUs. Is this true? If so, if I compile say 6.0DR2 from source on that machine using Windows 2003 Server, will it compile to use all of my 4 processors or will it look at it as 1? Would using Linux make a noticeable difference? I've searched the forums and only found one post remotely close and he was asking if his server would be sufficient and I realize it is, just curious about the coding and a little more technical aspect of things.

Thanks in advance.
