I have a dual processor AMD box. It runs Windows, but I'm sick of the update hassles and occasional bit rot. But I don't want one CPU to go idle. Will Puppy use both?
I tried installing , just as an experiment, and it came up ok, but I couldn't tell if I was getting both CPUs...
Does Puppy run with both processers in dual CPU?

Hi Scott,I don't want one CPU to go idle. Will Puppy use both?
If you look in Start/Control Panel/xproc system info, it might give you your answer. I too have a dual processor, and the system info notes the entire amount of ram. I guess that means it uses it too.
I have read somewhere that the reason for the dual system is not for speed, but a way of keeping the machine cooler....I guess this means that processors are switched based on some heat indicator.
