On Windows Server 2003 I ran a process counter for % Processor Time for the w3wp.exe process for IIS. The counter was reporting values way over 100 such as 434.4, 398.74, etc.

How is it possible to have > 100% on a % CPU counter like that? Is it because the box has multiple processors?

most likely that would be the cause. Indeed it is odd though.
