SMP Seesaw is a small, simple application that gives you full control over your dual-core processor Windows system. Select a running process, click the move button, and you can quickly divide your active tasks between your cores any way you see fit.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
