Right Click on the bar at the bottom of the screen and select Task Manager then select Performance you should see both processor cores. If you applications are not dual or multi processor applications then only the OS will use both processor cores. |

| | Re: Dual Core Processors in addition I would like to say that even if your apps may not support multiple cores, there are programs that you can send app A to one core and app B to the second core, thus both apps will be working faster... this whole thing of course is manual or semi-automatic..
