I have a workstation with a dual processor and I'm not quite sure how to get it to work. Any one have a good link, guide or explanation to help me out here.

Thanks in advance

Dual processors work off the bat. Nothing needed.

Your thread title and your first post indicate two different things. Do a little reading and then let us know just exactly what it is that you want to do...

Dual Boot ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_boot

Dual core ~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-core

What I would like to be able to do is run a system hog in the other core to speed up the computer while the tasks are going on.

The Dual-core is a bad link. Do you have another?

Don't click on quoted links, click the originals. Afterdawn's quote system adds HTML code at the end of URLs in Quotes, so they'll turn up as 404s.
