VM Template question

When creating a template for OS do you have to create one for every cpu count?

Do you have to use Sysprep for all templates also?

For example : 1 template for 1vcpu and 1 templete for 2vCpu? Due to the fact that Windows 2003 HAL may be affected?

My current setup for info: Virtual Center 2.1 ESX 3.5 up1 on 3x HP DL460c G1 16gb EVA4100_1 20 Windows 2003 Ent VM's

to take that even further, we create templates for each specfic VLAN. You don't have to, you can always change CPU count post deployment, but changing it in the template does take out the element of human forgetfulness. With that said, all of our templates are deployed with a single vCPU. Unless otherwise identified through perfmon, we usually try to keep our devices at a single vCPU
