However, it should be mentioned that the generic kernel in (K)ubuntu 
7.0.4 (and 6.10, IIRC) handles my Centrino Duo without a hitch, 
recognizing and using both cores.  Thus, my laptop 'feels' faster than 
my AMD 3800+ server.

$ cat /proc/cpuinfo |grep processor
processor       : 0
processor       : 1
