   Yup, as Lars suggested, I tried dropping the /APIC option, however that did   
   not    
   appear to improve teh situation.   
      
   Now, regarding the follow-up suggestion of yours, I attempted the following    
   (based on some previous Intenet searches):   
      
   SET RUNWORKPLACE=G:\OS2\CMD.EXE   
   SET RESTARTOBJECTS=NO   
   SET SHELLEXCEPTIONHANDLER=OFF   
   SET SHAPIEXCEPTIONHANDLER=OFF   
      
   ...the result was a hard-lock however...what I haven't tried was leaving the   
   full   
   CONFIG.SYS setup as-is in my 4-core configuration and attemptign the SET    
   RESTARTOBJECTS=NO on it's own.    
      
   I will try that tomorrow and will follow-up with my results.   
      
   So far, strangely enough (to me anyways) it doesn't appear like I'm going to    
   have much luck moving to the 6-core configuration.    
      
   I wish that the eCS ACPI solution could be tried out on some type of a trial    
   basis...because if it works I would be happy to pay the price and move along   
   to    
   more happy times...LOL...yes, but I'm just getting 'greedy' here trying to get    
   the full 6 cores running...
