ACK 'marketing Nomenclature' - (the 'Core-D' / Pentium D eg - pre 'Core 2'
having been presented as meaning 'Core Duo')
.... which is why I asked about the *number*. Though of course a dmesg would show
that ... so long as the booting stage got that far:

Perhaps we should boot with an i32 image, detect what's there, throw a flag -
much as an OpenBSD insall selects an MP kernel (or not), and logs that action.
Doesn't need a lot of extra CD/DVD space ... or code.
I'll worry about all that when VIA Nano dualcore become common or ARM gets faster.
Meanwhile, after half a century of listening to fan noise, I'm chasing lower
power instead of raw speed and have come to rather enjoy what Simon & Garfunkel
called 'the sounds of silence'.
