I have a 3.0GHz P4-D (dual-core) CPU using XP Pro SP2... I'm presuming you could run two instances of Prime95, one on each core of the CPU, as if it was an dual CPU system...
I'm also presuming this would be more efficient than even a hyper-threaded CPU... I'm also presuming unless you have a program specifically designed to use both cores or able to be assigned to a specific core, Windows by default will use only one, ignoring the other completely... Are these presumptions correct? If so, I'd like to assign an L-L test to the ignored core, and do a trial-factoring on the other one (presuming this would be the most efficient use)... I'm presuming the ignored core, would be core 1 (or in Prime95's case -- CPU 1)??? Ideas? Corrections? _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
