I am using dual Athlon MP 1600+ with Windows 2000. So far I find that
the system manage the cpu usage very well even for programs that does
not utilise multiprocessing system. For example when I run global
server the task monitor show that total cpu use is about 50% with the
load shared amount CPU0 and CPU1 then I also start tradestation and
run some optimisation the total CPU usage show reaching 100%. This
mean that the system is smart enough to manage the app. usage
dynamically without user intervention yet provide stability and
responsiveness when many app. running at the same time.
I had try to play around with affinity but things does get unstable and
I don't recommend you try to set the affinity.
