Think we need a Dual Core Thread with everyones methods of getting both cores working without stutters.

I can't Put my finger on which method works seems sometime theres no stutters and other times there is.
Currently im in OSX with just the Platform=ACPI flags with no stutters, sometimes IdleHalt=0 works and at other times it dont. I hate the fact that for a trouble free system some users may disable one core.

when adding kernel flags to boot.plist remeber to keep them on all one line. i.e
CODE
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>-v platform=ACPI idlehalt=0</string> -- all on one line


someone's a smart ass... looked i fixed the spelling you happy now, can you sleep at night.

None of those worked for me. The only workaround was disabling one core (cpus=1).

That's not going to help since you misspelled "idlehalt"

Here's part of my com.apple.Boot.plist:
CODE
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
    <string>platform=ACPI idlehalt=0 </string>


Note the capitalization on ACPI and none on idlehalt.
