a. The compiler is supported on AMD Opteron systems, which are named under System Requirements. Visual Numerics has not tested the Intel Fortran version of IMSL on Opteron processors and their license does not list non-Intel processors.

b. I am not familiar with the Threading Tools, but as they require VTune, that would imply that they too do not support non-Intel processors. You can ask in the Threading Tools forum.

c. Windows XP Professional supports up to two CPUs. If you want more, then use Windows Server.
