    Does anyone know if NHC works with the new dual core CPUs?

    It should be easy to do it because NHC controls the clock, not the core (there is nothing to control there anyway). If both cores listen to the same clock (and I really doubt it that each has its own) that means that even today's NHC should be able to do it. NHC -> clock driver -> clock -> n cores (presuming that both work on the same clock).

    Cheers,
