I believe that you need to get the parallel computing toolkit or the
personal grid edition in order to take advantage of multiple cores and
multiple CPUs. I know that Mathematica on its own does not go past 25%
usage of my four-core computer, but with the parallel computing
toolkit and four kernels, I hit 100% when using appropriate parallel
calls.
