Windows Vista Processors

TomElZ · 13 Jun 2009 at 11:31

Just curious about how many processors people have running whilst in Vista just surfing the Internet or something. I remember in XP I only used to have like 20 but now it is like 52-53 average.

What is everyone else's processors like?

Am on Ultimate 64 Bit by the way.

About 60 normally on Vista HP x86.

Just FYI, it's spelt "processes", if you want to have a further search

*Processes. On idle nothing running I have about 48. Including Logitech Setpoint, RealTek HD Audio etc. No gadgets or anything, it's pretty clean.

Vista and number of processes should not be of concern to anybody.

If I disable one of my processor cores, I can run at 3.8 on air

Totally pointless though, unless I'm doing something that only uses one or two cores..

As for processes, been running just over 11 days now, 67 running on Win7 x64. 22 of which I can trace down the program responsible (not that I'd have that few when running 'idle', the number includes background processes for things like iTunes, and Kaspersky, etc)

on boot 34 processes running, thats about the minimum

in XP it's like 15

On my main rig, 70 processes at idle. It's a lot, but I guess I may as well use all this top of the range hardware for something

Laptop is something like 48.

88 on my Dell laptop.
