I'm pretty sure running in Boot Camp (or using VMWare Fusion) uses both processors. I've never used the 64-bit XP, so someone else might know.

I had planned on using XP64 until i read that there were no drivers available, but that may have changed since they released 64 bit vista drivers now.

Vista drivers are NOT XP drivers. I'd expect XP drivers to be a long way off while vendors develop more and more Vista drivers.
