i'm guessing with two CPUs it makes no sense to enable HT as XP can't handle 4 CPUs efficently.

Actually, when you enable HT with dual processors, there are actually only two TRUE processors. The two other processors you see are logical processors. XP Pro will show and use 4 processors total without any problems...

As you can see below, two Xeon 2.4Ghz 533Mhz with HT shows 2 processors + logical processors (HT) in use under Windows XP Pro which is only capable of two processors only. I have MCM2 running in the background when I took this screenshot.

BTW - Motocross Madness 2 is not even SMP coded...
