yes
#2
Do I have to change any setting so that CS2 recognizes by Core 2 Duo E6600 (both threads)?
#3
Photoshop is able to use multiple processors or multiple cores without any user intervention (as long as they are recognized by the OS).
#4
Am using CS2 with Intel E6700 without having to change any PS settings and have not seen any difficulties.
#5
Thanks a lot. You´ve helped me very much.

I have CS2 on a new Intel E6600 system. How do I know if CS2 is using both threads (cores)?

Generally speaking, CS2 may not utilize both cores at all times, but you should certainly see increased activity on each CPU when viewing the Performance tab of Task Manager. Some processes can use both CPUs, some do not per my understanding of what has been said here over the years.
An easy test is to open a reasonably large file and apply the Radial Blur filter with options of 100/Zoom/Best. That will take enough time on most systems to show loading of both CPUs near 100%. A popular "benchmark" from the RetouchPRO forum is to create an 8x10 inch image at 300ppi, fill it with 100% uniform monochromatic noise, then perform that 100/Zoom/Best Radial Blur and time how long it takes to be applied.

Daryl
