Just FYI -- I have a Core2 Duo. I checked my Windows Task Manager View/CPU
History/One Graph per CPU, and I do get two separate side-by-side graphs,
and the two traces show a different pattern, so I think I am seeing each of
the two CPUs. The caption for the graph display just says CPU Usage
History, and does not have a separate caption for each CPU. When I choose
View/CPU History/One Graph, all CPUs, there is just one long graph with one
trace, so I don't know which cpu is being traced.
