I'm hoping it's all going to work (my 2nd processor is in the post) but the
idea is that programs have been written to be multi-threaded i.e. one
processor can work on one portion of the data and the other on another.
There is lots of info about on the net. The most obviously useful example
is the guy rewriting GIMP plugins / tools
http://nemo.physics.ncsu.edu/~briggs/gimp/index.html.
