I checked the following:

dieter@debby:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep "proc\|cores\|model"
processor       : 0
model           : 15
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU          6400  @ 2.13GHz
cpu cores       : 2
processor       : 1
model           : 15
model name      : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU          6400  @ 2.13GHz
cpu cores       : 2

That's a bit confusing, I thought I had *one* processor with *two*
cores and the content in /proc/cpuinfo claims two processor, 0 and 1
with two cores, respectively, where am I wrong?
