I understand that apps need to be written with multithreading for dual core CPUs to utilise the 2 cores, but when running single core apps (that Im aware of) like Dr DivX or DVD Shrink, task manager shows me that the two cores are working about evenly in the 2 graphs. Does Windows even out workload onto 2 CPUs? And if apps need to be "multithread"capable" to utilise 2 cores then how come I can set almost any app (not background service) in task manager to run any core I choose (by right clicking on the process then choose set affinity).
I'm using a Pentium D 830.
Who's got any info, I would appreciate it, Happy Easter.
thanx
