Multithreading does not guarantee that the OS will divide up the processes and/or threads and hand them off to different processor/cores. The OS would have to be written to take advantage of multiple processors in that fashion (Windows has had a multi-processor version since at least NT 4, but only limited capability for taking advantage of the multiple processors), and the apps would have to be written so that this causes no difficulties.

All of Dell's top-end models in all product lines use them, and have been doing so for a while. That's the only OEM *I* care about, but show me more than one major OEM that has no models with them. -- David W.
