Hi,
just a follow up question to this post:
Will Amibroker be able to take of a multiple CPU system (e.g. 4xAMD
Opteron 285 Dual Core CPUs)
Or will amibroker be able to take advantage of the dual core on a
SINGLE CPU only eg. AMD FX60 or Pentium 955XE?
I want to do lots of optimisations ..
Thanks,
Joel
