Guest Mike Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Can you set this to the number of processors in your pc say a dual core or a quad core processor? Someone had a video on youtube saying this would increase boot time and I read another article saying it was bogus. /NUMPROC is located in the boot tab under Advanced options in both XP and Vista.

Guest Mike Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Question about the /NUMPROC switch in MSCONFIG. It seems to boot up alot faster on the Vista machine I have. I've read that it should only be used for testing bad processors but was just wondering what any Microsoft mvp's had to say.

Guest Bob I Posted August 7, 2008 Posted August 7, 2008 Re: Question about the /NUMPROC switch in MSCONFIG. In that case, leave well enough alone, you prevent the system from actually using the processors you kill, thereby reducing the overall speed of the system during real use.
