quite simply windows 32bit does not support dual core yet, nor does BF2.
XP Home doesn't, but XP Pro supports two processors just fine.

BTW, you have to reinstall XP to go from single processor to dual core, you can't just migrate. Also make sure that your motherboard has the latest BIOS version with support for your specific X2 processor so you don't have to reinstall XP three times like I did.

You are incorrect that BF2 doesn't support dual core. Perhaps you meant it doesn't exploit dual core; it runs great, but won't use more than one core. But while BF2 is running on one core, the other core free to run my IP stack, XFire, Norton AV/firewall, and any other processes on the system. I had BF2 go into a loop once, and I could still alt-tab to the desktop and had a responsive system.
