While you are (somewhat) on the topic of starting processors, I want to
benchmark and application on a dual Xeon system. I want to try these
configurations, preferably without opening the box, since it's in
another time zone.

2 cpu w/ ht normal boot
2 cpu w/o ht noht
1 cpu w/o ht nosmp noht
1 cpu w/ ht ???

It looks as if maxcpus=2 counts physical units? I can't try it until Monday.
