Had a lecture from someone I know yesterday explaining how all 32 bit software only uses a single core of a multi-core CPU.

I said I think that might not be right but they were pretty adamant on their argument.

Please enlighten me.

 
No thats not true like "noidea_77" said multi-core funtion is not base on 32/64 bit software... its how the program is written. A 32 bit software can be written to take advantage of multi-cores and/or threads while a 64 bit uses only one thread.
