Hello, I run some larger calculations on Linux with Mathematica 6.0.2.1 and 8 cores essentially using NDSolve, and these calculations definitly use usually 4 cores without any interference from my side. Mathematica seems to detect the multicore environment automatically and the software acts then accordingly. In a sense I was (positively) surprised. However, not everything in Mathematica supports multicore, and it is my guess and partly my experience that it is mostly (maybe only) numerical stuff which uses multicores.
