   Around here, mine is dual:

ITS $ show cpu

System: ITS, HP rx2600  (1.50GHz/6.0MB)

CPU ownership sets:
   Active               0,1
   Configure            0,1

   Knowing nothing, I'd guess that two single-core CPUs might be
considered equivalent to one dual-core CPU.

   That would seem to bode ill for my two-dual-core-CPU rx2660.  I seem
to recall getting a bunch of complaints like:

      %LICENSE-W-NCLOAD, VSI <various> was loaded in noncompliant mode
      with 2 unit(s). 4 units required

but I'm not sure if I ever tried to resolve that, or if it actually
mattered.  I haven't run that system lately, due to noise and power
considerations.
