You are probably using a Pentium with hyper threading capability. This enables the processor to become a virtual double core and is seen as such by Windows. When you access the task manager, it probably shows the CPU in 2 windows. One will be working at 100% and the other at next to 0. That's because Mathematica is using up all it can but on only one "http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/6552virtual"; processor. Hope this helps. -- Xavier PhD student Université Catholique de Louvain Belgium
