How to make use of both the processors in Dual processor

support.microsoft.com/kb/896256

I am using Intel Core 2 duo processor. My question is, whenever i run my application i would like to know whether my software is using both the processors or a single processor. How do i know it? Is there any way to see that? If it is using single processor, how to make use of both the processors? Please help me out. I need this to improve my software performance.

wouldnt the "Task Manager" 's "Performance Tab" tell you Each CPU/thread's usage in percentage, under Windows already? look.

Yes the task manager does this. You can also assign each cores specifc tasks by right clicking the indiviual process and settting the affinity.
