If memory serves me right, many of the dual-core intel chips share some<br>
on-chip components (such as the total cache). You'd get all of the
cache
<br>
lines allocated to one chip in UP, and divided among the cores in SMP.<br>
There are probably other resources on the chip for which this is the<br>
case... perhaps that is a source of your slowness?<br>

Can I suggest that you use Xen? Under Xeon processors, Xen can run
Windows without modification. It would allow you to test for peoblems
without disk wiping or repartitioning. <br>
