problem with games

[geat]

how can i make my dual core processor be able to handle games that are single treaded

 

[Praetor]

By reprogramming the games to be multithreaded (i.e., you cant)

Disable the second core in task manager if your having problems.

 

[geat]

how do i disable one core

 

[Praetor]

You dont. All you can do is set process affinity. To do so, right click on the process and select, you guessed it, Affinity. Then check only the cores you want that process to run off of. Do realize that this isnt gonna result in damn near anything other than giving you manual control

says acess denied

 

[Praetor]

Well then i guess you cant change the processor affinity. Nothing surprising there, you cant change it for all processes

i have the same proc... just o/c it to 2.4ghz... i didnt even have to turn hypertransport multipliers down!... remember to use a ddr333 ram divider though. i didnt need to raise vcore or anything! runs very nicely, just like a 4600+... or an athlon 64 3800+ single core... for single threads.

To do so, right click on the process and select, you guessed it, Affinity.

i love that tone of voice even tho its a bunch of letters... lol YOU GUESSED IT: AFFINITY!

Lets stay on topic people.
