I am running PS2000i and I can't assure anything about the choice of
processors in the way it runs. I think the optimum design choice would have
been to allow the user to pick the number of processes assigned to each
processor. By setting the Affinity in the Task Manager at least you can be
sure that Windows is not limiting the processing.

: Jim - have you determined how to insure this set-up occurs automatically
: when TS2000i is loaded vs. having to fool around with the Task Manager ?
