Does your bios have hyperthreading enabled? Some intel CPUs (or is it motherboards?) have a system called hyperthreading by which they pretend you have two processors; they have two pipelines set up and the cpu ping-pongs between them. Pro: intensive programs like Matlab can't hog all your resources and you can do other things Con: intensive programs like Matlab can't hog all your resources and take twice as long So I would check to see if there is a bios option called hyperthreading. If there is, either turn it off or enable multiple CPU support. -Doug -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
