Thanks for the fast replies.

I believe I saw smp on fedora. will that take advantage of dual core?

But what's more important is "does the kernel actually use both CPU's
at the same time?" I know that majority of apps do not make use of two
cpu's, so one app uses CPU0 while another app uses CPU1. Does the
kernel get a speed benefit from 2x  1.66ghz cpu's
or will it be the same speed as a core solo 1.66ghz.

Some distributions already have pre-compiled kernels as well for dual
core support, its usually the smp kernels too.
