Oh, I forgot to indicate that the only workaround I've seen is to set MPS 1.1 instead of 1.4 in the BIOS. Supposedly the reason is that there is an entry in the 1.1 table for the USB controller that is missing from the 1.4 table. I'm not sure if that is correct, but it sounds plausible. At any rate, if you have MPS 1.4 and SMP and USB working...that I have not seen. =)
Finally someone answered what I wanted to hear. Everyone is posting oh i have usb working, I ask what is you mps setting on, oh usb works, why are you asking something dumb like that, my usb works. anyway I new it was mps 1.4. Do you think a bios update would fix that?
What is the difference between 1.4 and 1.1,
i.e. why is 1.4 better?
Thanks.

it is an intel specification for dual processors if you go to intels site theyll tell you the difference. It has something to do with the pci bus. Some new features that 1.4 supports that 1.1 doesnt..
And ofcourse they had to "forget" to include something... like USB support. What a bummer.
