running my multi-processor Windows VMs on my VMware ESX servers instead

1) Yes, there's a bug in there somewhere that makes running a
multi-processor Windows-based HVM crash.
 
Just another data point: My Winxp vm works fine on Fedora 8 with  
vcpus=2. I 
mostly use it for multimedia - nothing as demanding as a database.
 
Same here. We've got a Windows 2000 VM running Apache, MySQL and MS SQL  
with 
vcpus ranging from 2 to 4 with no problems whatsoever, or at least not
related with this SMP thing.
We use XenSource's hypervisor built from source with Ubuntu's default Xen
kernel on dom0.
