Multipe loads of svchost.exe?

[emthompson 0]

Should XP load mutiple svchost.exe? There are 4 of them. 1 for Network service 1 for local service and 2 for the system. Should there be 2 system ones open or is that wrong? One is using 1.2mb and the other is using 6.7.

It is normal for there to be multiple instances of svchost.exe
