Re: [CGUYS] multi-core CPU's
I have an AMD dual core and use coolmon2 to watch core percent of usage and what I find fascinating is that while one application (say spybot s&d) is running and using 100% of one core and I launch another app, the second app grabs the 2nd core and my response time doesn't suffer from having the first app running. I don't know how to quantify "% increase" but anecdotally (sp?) I find great performance advantage even using a dual core for single core designed apps.
