Ok, I currrently have 2k and XP dual booted. I wanted to try XP out before I abandon my trusty 2000. In Device Manager my computer is listed and MPS multi processor PC.
 
When i try to change the Driver the only options i get are MPS uniproc. and Standard PC. No ACPI MULTIPROCESSOR or any other flavors. AT ALL
 
I want ACPI, is there a way to force ACPI ??
 
Also, when i play CS or Quake I will get random freezes (but thats another thread,)
 
Could my CS freezes be attributed to the MPS ? and can my lack of kernal options be because i am DUAL booting ?
 
here is my system specs.
 
Tyan Thunder 100 @ 112 440BX chipset
2 P3 550's Slot 1
Winfast Geforce 2 GTS 32MB
Soundblaster Live
1024 mb PC 133 MICRON

Thanks to all, Sparkhard
