each processor core can only execute one instruction at a time, for one application at a time. the data bus can handle either one (32 bit) or two (64 bit) operations at a time. that you can see 5 windows open at once is the magic of the video processor and persistence of vision.

From memory I use a 10 second FIFO on receive and 2 second on transmit. I can't think of any problems that could arise as long as there are some free CPU cycles. What am I missing? Simon Brown, HB9DRV www.ham-radio-deluxe.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave AA6YQ If you're referring to CPU usage as reported by the Windows Task Manager, that's an average. The question is whether any app is being starved for CPU resources during critical operations.
