How can I check processor usage?
« on: March 17, 2010, 10:09:21 AM »
I have a dual processor PC. How can I check whether both processors are working at any one time? (In Windows I'd use Task Manager.)

2009.2 - but I had to look at the CD as I don't know how to check from within the system.

Anyway, my original q was how I can check on processor usage.

"task manager" equivalent in kde is "ksysguard" aka "ksysguard". It should be on your menu somewhere.
