Forgive me if I've missed this on a list somewhere, but My new laptop with a Core Duo doesn't seem to use both CPU's. It sees both, but I never see anything on cpu 1. Here's a top snippet:

Your top output shows a single process eating the CPU. A single process can't span CPUs, so you're only going to see one CPU in use. You need to do something in parallel, like make -j N where N > 1.

I understand that a single process won't span cpu's, but there isn't a single process on the second cpu, and running multiple:

cat /dev/random | md5

Still slams one cpu.
