It says that Windows XP supports 1-2 CPUs. So to take full advantage of a quad-core I would have to change to Windows Server 2003?

Most likely Microsoft would want people to upgrade to Vista - I doubt we will see affordable desktop quad cores before 2007 and this will give just enough time for Microsoft to release Vista.

Have to say that using a dual core PC rocks

That would make one pricey box, as win server isn't cheap. Then add the cost of the 4-core to it and voila!!! Instant poor house!!! So I'll be running Linux on them.
