If you are not experiencing any problems then it may be a simple glitch from
System profiler.
If you go into Activity Monitor and see that the processor bar graph only has a
single bar then one CPU is probably dead.
Two bars and everythings OK - just not reported correctly by SP.
This used to happen when users upgraded from OS9 to OSX and upgraded the CPU to
a Sonnet or similar too .
OS9 would show the full CPU speed and whether dual or single whereas OSX
wouldn't ( or is it the other way round - I can't remember ).
