So far as I know, this is not the case. I have a dual core Pentium, and 
Ubuntu Linux. When I first installed, I remember that I had to 
specifically select to install the right kernel to get dual core 
support. But then later Ubuntu kernels seemed to do it automatically.

Later I built my own kernel (with much encouragement and advice from 
this list), and my computer is fantastically fast, with complete dual 
core support.

In any case, bottom line is that I've always had full dual core support 
from the outset, without any troubles whatsoever.

Hope that helps.
