Title says it all, aside from it being a dual-core CPU.
Followed the native linux install procedure here: http://forums.legitreviews.com/about16142.html
Scratching my head and not sure what to do.

Is this in a VM or native install? What are you running from the CMD for a command? What core is running?

Native install, I really can't remember but I followed all the step-by-step instructions on that walk-through, CPU1 is fully stressed, and CPU2 is only slightly stressed with firefox open

you could make a text file on your desktop with this in it

Code: Select all

cd [FOLDING DIRECTORY HERE] &
./fah6 -smp -verbosity 9 -forceasm  &
then just run it in a terminal
