I'm having exactly the same problem. but with an ASUS P5ND2-SLI (bios

I installed x64 Edition and discovered the problem, and followed up by
updating the BIOS from version 101 to 501, according to the ASUS
directions (and I have to confess that the flashing program was slick...)

Now, The BIOS POST reports "2 CPU's". I ran a repair installation of XP
x64, but the installation did not replace the HAL components to enable
the other core.

The whole point of this exercise was to get into a dual core machine.
How do I fix this?

I think that when you are doing the repair, if you hit F5 when it prompts for the F6 for additional
drivers that it will prompt you to select the HAL.

FYI - I'm having the same issue with Abit N18. I've updated BIOS, installed
ACPI Multiprocessor, still only one cpu showing up.
