Is there a way on a Quad Core server to turn off two of the four CPUs?
Thanks,

If disabling processor cores is possible with a particular server and a particular CPU (model of both server and CPU would be helpful), it's done via the BIOS.
The only reason I can think of for doing this is licensing reasons - though some licence managers may realise from interrogating the CPU that you have a quad core processor and fault even if you have cores disabled.
More information on why you want to do this and on what hardware would help greatly.
