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.

'Obviously?' Thanks, but if it is all the same, I would rather have Irish 
Alzheimer's.  Easier to remember....

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.
