Guest Eric Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Does anyone have any suggestions on what applications support mult-processors under XP? such as Microsoft Office. On current market, 1 core CPU contains 4 CPUs, but what kind of applications will support running mult-processors in order to maximize the usage of CPU resource. Does anyone have any suggestions why not build a single faster CPU rather than a core CPU containing 4 CPUs? Thank you for any suggestions Eric
Guest DL Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Re: What applications support mult-processors under XP? Is it not a question of do 'these' applications support multiple cores, info on such should be avilable from the manu. web sites, rather than being told what apps, which may be of no use to you, support multiple cores.

The multi-cores run much cooler. I find a dual-core is able to do more things at once, whether or not the apps were specifically designed for the set-up.
