It is possible that the chip, in the absence of specific instructions from the OS, will have a default behavior allowing Win2kPro/XP to take advantage of the dual core transparently by splitting instruction execution betwix the cores based on a complex (or simple for that matter) algorhythm, passing data across an internal datapath as needed, returning the results to the appropriate register/stack/queue unbeknownst to the OS.
