Like allot of people recently I expect I've just got a dual core athlon for my asus av8. Got it slapped in and overclock and now want to start messing about with setting affinity for things but don't really know what I'm doing. For example, is it best to just put everything in task manager which isn't a game to use one processor only? Or are there certain background tasks which definetly benefit from being left on two? The main reason I got it was to allow more power for games. Are there any basic guides to what works best anywhere? Did a quick google but couldn't find anything obvious.
Any basic guides to "getting the most out of dual core in windows" about?

Games will work at 50% (100% one core), unless another program fills up the other core and then starts using the first one.
There isn't anything you really need to do. If you experience problems then you set affinity, but BF2 is the only one i've come accross as having DC problems.
