According to that page you have 65, you lose.

Once I get my new dual core in can I run this on one core and everything on the other? I'm assuming most things wont utilise both cores.

you can do that, but mostly I find that stuff loads the cores pretty equally.

Something like that, and this seems to show that if you do the software cleverly you can use them very well.

Lets hope games programmers do to! Imagine having an entire core dedicated to physics processing!

As I posted on the xbox 360 folding thread, the PS3 is really good for folding, it's not just the number of cores, the cores themselves push a lot of tfops and are very good at floating point calculations. Not games though.

I just installed and started it up, using 56% of my CPU so all good!
