I'm sure I've read somewhere this is possible, but I'm buggered if I can remember where 
Best regards.

From what I understand (and I am a novice) multicore processors require a different programing language; The C++ used by most apparently doesn't work with the multicores, or at least doesn't work well.
Most, if not almost all, current and past software programs don't, and cannot utilize the multicore.
I have a duo core and hope to be able to utilize the new programs that support it.
The same is true for the 64 bit programs, although the programming language currently used can support this OK.
