Someone else suggested the snow package, but I don't think it is available for windows. I have been able to get the nws package to work on a duel core machine using windows and it did speed up my tests (and was fairly straight forward to use).

I'm soon going to get a nice shiny new 8 cpu machine which it would be very nice to fully utilize. Is there any way to get R to use all the cpus - should this happen automatically?
