CPU upgrade?

[Stephen]

With modern CPU's the Linux world tries to write fro multi-core anyhow
just to make the most use of the core itself. i think when tweaking
complies one rule was # of cores +1. But i haven't been handrolling
software for a while. just no damn time.

Those that havent will have a kernel package without, and a second one with a -smp in the name.  If your distro is one that has separate package and you don't have the smp kernel loaded, simply install the smp kernel.  However, most of the time now-a-days, its completely not needed.
