DualCore.

Yep, very possible, since AMD X2 processors have 2 cores, which makes
them a kind like a SMP system. One POV-process can utilize one core, so
running 2 processes gives a serial boost.

Like Warp said, Pov3.7 is going to have threading support, so it'll
remove the "need" for two different processes.
