task manager help

When I open task manager and click on the performance tab I see two CPU usage history windows. Can someone tell me what each is showing? Also, where can I find more information about this window?

Thanks, Jim B

you normally have two when you have a dual core cpu one for each core

Thanks. Never occured to me. Are they supposed to share the work evenly? Reason I ask, When running Flight simulator X, one looks to be maxed out while the other seems to be loafing.

Hyperthreading also shows 2 screens.

If hyperthreaded they should be fairly even.

If you have a dual core it depends on the software.

If the software was not written for dual cores it will only run on one.

Thanks again. You'd think FSX would have benn written for dual. I'll have to check.
