Just finished putting together my first multi-core system (went with a Q6600) and I was wondering what people have found for multi-core CPU monitoring tools.
task manager shows all processors
Also, does XP do all the core management for me automatically?
yes, and does a very good job.
I have been multitasking and noticed that everything runs very, very well like I would expect it to. Is there a way to specify which core an app will run on or would you have to move to an OS like Unix/Linux for that?
I think there is to the extent that you can specify how much CPU time to designate to a particular processes. Look in Task Manager for this. But I don't think it is worth the effort in a desktop environment.
