Done.
Up and running, reporting both CPU at beginning of boot mesages.
Asus P5VDC-MX, Inel Pentium D 915 Dual-Core, 2 GB DDR2 800.
More as I stress it.... but looks golden from C3-800 up.

Intel's 'HAL' idea of SMP in P3 days (or earlier - my first was an Asus with
twin Pentium 90 MHz) was somewhat *bent*. Warp on one CPU was 40% faster than
NT4 on two, and that held on P1 200 & PentiumPro 200 as well.
