Right, but it's the same in his question context (how do i know if my install is using the dual processors?)
I'm not so sure. All cat /proc/cpuinfo will do is tell you how many CPUs you HAVE not necessarily how many are being used. If you put a uni-processor kernel on a dual processor machine what does cat /proc/cpuinfo show? Mmmmm, not shure, probably your are right....
I remember BeOS you could dynamically shut down one cpu and see their equivelent of Top, show one processor going full bore and the other doing nothing. Interesting, any idea if this can be done in linux?
