I am trying to run these two USB 2.0 camera's at one time but Max can't see the second camera. When I try to "getdevlist" it only shows one camera. I went into the camera manager and made sure that the camera's where on two different id's and dev numbers but still no luck. Does anyone know what I am missing?

I had to go into my camera management files and make the camera's have totally unique id's in directX. I had changed it for quicktime (which I can't get to work with my Vista adapter that cycling 74 recommends).

...It uses 70-80 percent of my cpu to run both at once. Is where I should be thinking to use a poly~? or what if i tried to make two standalones that network to a third? (if that even runs on more than one processor)

as you suggest, multiple standalones (or just duplicating the Max/MSP app itself and loading patches in each copy) is an easy way to better utilize multiple processors.

may or may not improve you situation. worth testing out.
