Ahhh, I see what the problem is now.  Your reference says it's only available or i386 and powerpc architectures and I'm on AMD 64 X2.  Does seem to me that the info should be available for a more powerful cpu.  The info otherwise provided is useful and ought to be available on 64 bit dual core processors.  Anyone know how to achieve it for 64 bit hardware?
