Re[4]: TS4 runs much better on a P3

Hinton,

TS2ki does it automatically.  It also hogs nearly every resource if it needs them.  Not so bad on newer machines but it really demands dual processors or the new dual core processors.  In the task manager you can mess with settings but you will find they don't stick if you reboot or turn tS2ki off then on and they also don't make any difference in performance.  TS2ki will run fine until you want to optimize or mess with data and never try to do both at the same time. Actually the key to TS2ki is never do more than one thing at a time.

Jimmy,

Is there any special procedure for setting up TS 2000i with two
processors?  How would you assign GlobalServer to one and charting to
the second?

Regards,
Hinton
