I don't have any experience with dual-cores and I'm wondering if you can set one instance of a program (say SPI) to run with both cores (by setting the affinities).

And, if it's possible, would the application run faster?

spi isn't multi threaded so no you can't.

Imagine if superPi was multi threaded....... 1M would come obsolete soon with Kensfield comming!

It's not affeliated with superpi in any way, but there's mutlithreaded superpi beta in the extreme benchmark section:
