Aparently, there is a bug for running dual core processors in Windows XP envirnoment. Has anyone hear about this? Without this patch, you won't get the full performance of your dual core CPU:
Taken from Microsoft's website:
"SYMPTOMS
Computers that are equipped with multiple processors that support processor power management features, such as Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) processor performance states, require Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2). Additional updates are available to optimize performance and behavior on computers that are running Windows XP SP2. Without these updates, computers that are equipped with these power management-capable, mobile, dual-core processors may experience decreased performance or unexpected behavior. "

So those of you that are running dual cores now, download this and install it.
