A question about C2D

[thewalrusking]

I remember seeing in a few mags how you could select one process, say photoshop, and another, say I dont know Winrar, and put each on its own core, thereby running two heavy processes on seperate cores so that they work more efficiently. I cant seem to find the options for that. I have a E4500, i see alot of things like 2 cpu graphs in task manager, but nothign about this.

Both of the apps you mention are multi-threaded, so what you're asking about would be useless; they'd both just run half as fast, if run together.

If you right-click a process in task manager you should be able to set it's "affinity" for a specific core. I can't say what you'd see in terms of -/+ real world impact tho.
