parallelism sql 2000

Dear friends,
I've been reading some docs about parallelism but I'm still not sure how it
works. My doubt is:
To work with parallelism, do I need to use partitioned tables/index? If yes,
how?
I'm using a dell power edge 6000 with 4 processors.
kind regards
BertoliYou don't need to have partitioned tables to use parallelism. All you need
are multiple CPU's. Parallelism is the striping of a query across multiple
CPU's. In many cases, this speed up the query. In a minority of cases, it
slows down the query. However, you can turn off parallelism for that query
by using OPTION (MAXDOP 1).

Bertoli|||SQL Server will parallelize queries as it is able (if you allow it to do
so). You do NOT need to create partitioned tables to use this feature.
