586083 2007-08-29 20:34:00 How does XP decide which core to use for which program?

I have five drives spread over three disks.

I want one program to have exclusive use of one core, and everything else in the second core.

Is there any way to set this up?

cpu , intel extreme x6800

586088 2007-08-30 11:39:00 I have a dual-core cpu and i rarely notice any difference when changing the affinities.
The main (and pretty much only) time i do notice, is when i am running virtual machines, and assign 1 core per virtual machine.
Other than that i havn't noticed a difference.
Most applications out there today are still only written for single core cpu's so we won't start seeing the real advantage of dual/quad core cpu's until software developers (myself included lol) start developing for multi-core cpu's.
