    I've got a HP Pavilion dv6000 notebook running Windows Vista Home Premium. It's got an AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 1.7GHz Processor TK-53 with 1GB DDR2 667MHz RAM. The graphics processor is nVIDIA GeForce Go 6150. I remember reading somewhere online about optimizing your notebook or changing some settings so that Vista uses the dual core (was it core 2 duo?) technology efficiently but can't seem to find it now. Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?
