Title says it all, aside from it being a dual-core CPU.
Followed the native linux install procedure here:

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
