You should be able to use dual core. 
The Intel chips have dual cores, EM64T, and hyperthreading. You should be 
able to run X86_64 SMP. I don't know about Red Hat, but I run SuSE 10.1 on 
my HP 64-bit laptop, but it is not dual core. 

Also note that we run both SLES 9.0, RHEL 4.0, and Mandrivia on our 64-bit 
servers in the lab, and some have dual core and 64-bits. You can take a 
look at the ones we have publicly available. (http://www.testdrive.hp.com).

(And they don't explode).
