Re: New Computer

[Robert Creager <Robert_Creager@LogicalChaos.org>]

Hey Tom,

Looking at my top, I see nothing that indicates immediately that I have two
CPU's installed.  What tells me is that I have two tasks which both are running
at 100% CPU usage (SETI).  You noticed this.

I use xosview (from
http://speakeasy.rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=xosview) which
displays a CPU usage line for each CPU in your system.

"Thomas Droege" <tdroege2@earthlink.net> uttered something amazingly similar to:
