RE: Dual Processors ?

When running a multithreaded application under WindowsNT, each
processor executes a different thread, although any particular
thread could be running on any processor at any time.  In a two
processor system, each processor could be running threads that
both belong to the same process, or to different processes.

All of the memory is available to all threads running in that process.
