What have you already done to find answers to your questions yourself? There is a ReactOS Wiki with much documentation. At the top of the ReactOS.org home page, choose the ">Wiki" link at the top of the page. Then in the section marked "Documentation" choose "About ReactOS". Read everything there. Then go back to the main Wiki page and in the section marked "Testing" choose "Installing ReactOS". Read all of that too.
If you've tried to find the answer on your own but couldn't, then start a new topic in the "ReactOS Website discussion" forum. In your new topic, mention the question you were trying to answer and what you did to try to find the answer yourself. This will draw attention to deficiencies in ReactOS's documentation. Other forum participants can then edit the wiki to improve ReactOS's documentation.
...can (ReactOS) make use of a dual CPU system (at this time?)
Go to the "Installing ReactOS" page in the ReactOS Wiki. In the "Limitations" section of that page, look for the links marked "Known Issues" and "Missing ReactOS Functionality". Choose those links and look for the discussion of "Multiprocessing" on the linked pages.
I have a Microsoft USB mouse will it work on USB 1.0 with ReactOS? ... My sound card...? ...PCI SATA2 card...?
The "Known Issues" page mentioned previously is your friend.
Can ReactOS support Windows Vista or Windows Seven drivers?
Those drivers require NT
6 type operating systems. Check the "Known Issues" page mentioned previously and read the "Drivers" section.
...will (a software WDM driver for Windows XP) work in ReactOS?
See prior answer.
