[rescue] Dual CPU's under Solaris 8

[Stuart E. Johnson]

There are a couple of Solaris commands you will be interested in. The
psrinfo command tells a little about the CPUs (but no info about the cache
size!). The manpage for psrinfo will give you pointers to the commands to
both establish processor affinity and to enable/disable a cpu. Haven't used
them myself, but they're there...

As to desktop performance, it kinda depends on what you're doing. Being able
to run one instance of seti without degrading web browsing performance is
good... :^)
