Assigning a process to a specific core of a multicore CPU

[jgreen726]

Whilst looking at something for a someone who deals with weather satellite stuff i found this..

http://www.microsoft.com/resources/...cs/en-us/taskman_assign_process.mspx?mfr=true

It show you how to specify a single core for a task if you wish ...some of the software that people use seem to run on a single core...

Hope this helps someone!

• On the Processes tab, right-click the process you want to assign, click Set Affinity, and then click one or more processors.


Note

• The Set Affinity command is available only on multiprocessor computers.

• Using the Set Affinity command limits the execution of the program or process to the selected processors and might decrease overall performance.

Im having problems getting command and conquer generals to play ball with my c2d, i have even tried the imagecfg.dll file and created a batch file to set the affinity but it doesnt work, very annoying indeed
