Location: San Diego, CA                I just got a new iMac with i7 
processor.. and Activity monitor shows ONE CPU graph....

My MacPRO showed FOUR, my lowly 13" Macbook shows TWO...

Am I misunderstanding something?????

Weird but it seems that if your CPU has more than 4 cores, they will aggregate 
all of them into a single graph. I don't seems to understand the rationale 
behind this but what you are seeing is normal.

Location: San Diego, CA                Did not realize until now there was such 
as thing as a "FLoating CPU Window".... but I did find it and it does show all 
8 (4 real/4 virtual).   What I had been referring to was a the bottom of the 
main Activity WIndow, where you have the tabs for 
[CPU] [System Memory] [Disk Activity] [Disk Usage] [Network]

But upon doing a bit more research... OSX combines THAT display into one, if 
there are more than 4  cores (real or virtual)

Location: Sydney Australia                Not really qualified to suggest this 
but is it possible only one core is active?
If you load the thing down will it initiate more cores in the monitoring 
screen?
