XP Pro question

LOOKING4HELP · Jan 10, 2008

Hi
Hope im in the right fourm.
I think I am running a 32 bit os, xp pro with service pack 2 with a duel core processer with 4 gigs of ram.
My question is, when running a background program it slows down, is there an adjustment I can make to allow both programs run at the same speed ?

Unfortunately, not really.

You have a choice: Run it as a background task, or a foreground program. Aside from that, the only thing you can really do is play with the CPU affinity. In task manager, you can change the affinity of a running program.

You might try CPU Control at http://www.majorgeeks.com/download5875.html

CPU-Controls offers five different ways to control the CPU-affinity:

Automatic: It chooses alternatingly one CPU for each new process

Manual: You define a list, where you can set the way to handle each process

All processes run on CPU 1, which is useful for old applications which crashes on a dual core system

All processes run on CPU 2

I run it on my Duo Core laptop, and set to automatic (and forget ).
