perhaps someone can run with the ball with this info

and

info and drivers found here;

from what little i know about modifying your system - you "may" need to;
* update the kernel (or up Knoppix to 4.0.2 (?))
* enable smp in the kernel (Symmetric Multi-Processing, ie; Hyperthreading)
* switch to a different distro at this time

One of the README.txt states;

4. Running any of the following distributions and kernel versions

a. Redhat Enterprise Linux WS v3 with kernel 2.4.21-4.EL or kernel 2.4.21-4.ELsmp.
b. SuSE Linux Professional 9.0 with kernel 2.4.21-144-default
c. SuSE Linux Professional 9.1 with kernel 2.6.4-54-default or kernel 2.6.4-54-smp
d. SuSE Linux Professional 9.0 with kernel 2.6.8-24-default or kernel 2.6.8-24-smp
e. Mandrake 10.0 with kernel 2.6.3-7mdk or kernel 2.6.3-7mdksmp
f. RedFlag Linux Desktop 4.0 with kernel 2.4.20-8 or kernel 2.4.20-8smp
g. TurboLinux Desktop 10.0 with kernel 2.6.0-6 or kernel 2.6.0-6smp
i can't recall the commands to obtain Kernel specs at the moment, since i'm still very new to linux myself but IIRC, it's something like

Open the Konsole (terminal black window looking icon) and type in

uname -a

or

sudo uname -a
