I have been kinda looking into upgrading to dual processors. I run many memory and cpu intensive apps at the same time . Ftp, streaming, news, and rar extraction/compression. Also, the overhead from 4 hard drives.
I have read that there is a handful of programs that actually take advantage on 2 processor. What i am wondering is.. will windows let you assign different processes to each processor. So perhaps i could have all windows services running on 1 processor, and media encryption on the other? Not to speed things up by processing the same task with 2 processors, but to spread out all tasks over the 2 ..
Thanks
