Default Can Windows 2000 Pro support quad cores?

I installed Win2k Pro on my quad core rig for stability testing prior to using native Linux for folding. CPU-Z correctly identifies the core as a Kentsfield, but it only shows 2 cores. Is there a way to get Windows to recognize all four cores? I want to be sure my OC is stable before I get too deep into folding on it.

Windows 2000 is reaching the end of its lifecycle. If I remember correctly its either sometime this month or next. Which means there will be no design changes, no requests for fixes, and very little support for updates and such. Mainly the updates will be the closing of open security holes. After next month you can pretty much call it "abandonedware". Not exactly but pretty close.
