    I take it you're running the XP's on an MP chipset. You do know that you're being very naughty, by not buying AMD's hyper-expensive, ultra-slow MP processors, and having a decent computer to use instead?


    (I asked AMD if such a configuration was possible. I got a LONG e-mail back, which said that it wasn't recommended, documented, approved, etc'ed, to run a mere (read: cheaper) desktop processor with a multi-processor chipset.)
