Have dual processors / need SQL (1 or 2) license?

Need to install MS-SQL on a WIN2K Server box - Looking at
getting MS-SQL for 1 processor product = 228-01079. I'm
confused because I want to be legal and have 2 processors
in this box therefore - Do I need 2 copies of this
software to run or would one be enought?
ThanksOne question is do you really need a processor license. The links below

We are about to acquire a software package which specs
out that the server must have dual processors in the box
and rather large amount of RAM. Additionally it requires
that we install WIN2K Server and MS-SQL. We will have
about 75 users running this DB application therefore I
think that a processor license would be appropiate (cost
wise at discount house) over a CAL. Original question...
Do I need two copies for on machine utilizing two
processors? or Is there another avenue to take here?
Thanks
PS - I looked at the How to Buy and it didn't answer my
question. I
