If you're using .NET, you're actually adding one variable to the mix. If you have two Intel machines running XP, you shouldn't have a problem if you use a C++ compiler blowing out native code. Bear in mind, however, that the processors in the two machines aren't necessarily just alike. One may have an expanded instruction set of one sort or another. One of the things you get to do in some IDEs (or by command line arguments) is to ask the compiler to generate code that might be specific to a more powerful processor, at the expense of portability to a less powerful one. Check your setting for the type of code to be generated and go for the least common denominator.
