RE <Operating system support may be more of an issue.>

Scumbria,

Ouch! I was under the impression that a dual core design would make the separate cores transparent to the OS and handle scheduling and executing instructions between the two cores internally. If a dual core design would actually require special OS support that is indeed a significant obstacle, at least I would think so. Like I said Ouch!

Thanks,

Epinephrine
