I recall that Adobe used to make a dual processor version of Photoshop, and that without it any dual processor-based computer could not utilize its second CPU — but does that still hold true? I need to know because the tech guys at work recently upgraded my PC to a Dell Optiplex with dual P4 2.4 processors, and this is my first experience with two CPUs.

Will I need to change config files, alter the registry, or make some other modifications — or do I need to purchase a dual processor version of Photoshop?

Any related tips would be appreciated as well

No, Adobe never made a special "dual processor version".

We’ve always shipped multiprocessor support with the main application. It’s installed by default.

You don’t need to change anything.
