6.5 does.

Yes indeed.

As far as i know... i could be wrong as i havn't read anything that definitely supports that (though when Premiere starts up it detects multiple cpus). i've notice significant performance improvements though.

Nah, I'm sure 6.5 does NOT HAVE any options to support multi-threading in its menus. [even checked the trusty help file, F1 key is my best friend]

But upon speedfan inspection, my comp never hits 100% while encoding and both processors weren't maxed.

Like, one would be 100% and the other would be 25%

that's OBVIOUSLY not going to be dual-core ready.

Prime95 needs a certain setup to burn both cores to 100% and though both programs are different, I'm totally sure that at worst, both cores would have similar loads if it was dual-core ready.

Yes indeed.

Actually, you're using a newer version of Lagarith that's not on the app. I do not get that multithreading option of yours.
