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.
yes it will. several kernel subsystems are multi threaded. make -j 2
will use multiple cpus.
