I'm not burning my CPU, actually OpenSuse 10.3 uses multi-threading and boosts performance by utilizing one processor core and exchanging between the cores. It's clear that OpenSuse 10.3 was optimized for great performance on newer machines. I don't know what version you are going to use. Anyway, my processor runs regularly on 3~5% on both cores in clock speed of 1 ghz (AMD cool&quite), for starting up programs fast the processor loads the application into RAM (got 2gb) and raise the clocks to 2.1ghz. I'm sure 10.3 will work great on your machine since this version impressed my more than any Suse release I can remmember (9.0 my first).
