CPU matters less than people think. Extra cores do not get used.
Either SL is using two cores on my Macbook Pro and on my Athlon X2 Wintendo, or every time I run it both Windows and Mac OS have a "detect SL and run a dummy program on the second core so it shows up in the CPU meter" feature. I have seen people swear up and down that Windows XP requires setting CPU affinity for SL, but if so that's a bug in Windows XP not shared by Windows 2000 or Mac OS X.

Three or four cores? I don't know. But two cores are definitely used.
