While when i run native Linux apps they use both cores. Also the games and programs that i am running under wine use both cores when run under windows. Is this a bug, or maybe just something i dont have setup correcly on my computer.

It works the same way on an Intel Mac, which is good when a program 
decides that it 'needs' all of one of the cores.  I've had problems with 
Windows on a Dual Core appearing like it was locked up.  Got the Task 
Manager to run and one process was consuming 99% of the CPU.

I hope that Wine can be rewritten to use n-1 cores, which will leave at 
least one core 'open' in case of a runaway process.
