SMP Seesaw
Posted by The DareDevil @ 6:36AM PDT 
Ozzie HT sent some news are way and lead us to a very cool program called SMP Seesaw. Can you guess what it’s for? Here’s a snip from the official website ( http://www.mlin.net/SMPSeesaw.shtml )

SMP Seesaw is a small utility for dual-CPU workstations that allows the user to finely tune how Windows balances the processing load between the two CPUs.


By default, Windows tries to balance the processing load as evenly as possible: when one process is running on CPU 0 and another process needs to execute, Windows runs it on CPU 1. This greatly improves multitasking performance under Windows NT and even moreso under Windows 2000. However, it is sometimes useful to dedicate an entire CPU to only one or two processes to get maximum performance from them - single-threaded games, software-based DVD playback and VMware (www.vmware.com) are good examples.


This is a great utility for everyone on the spectrum: Whether you’re a hardcore overclocker, or just a casual user, it’s not hard to squeeze a little more juice out of your dual processor system.

Write to me @ TheDareDevil@BP6.Com and tell me what you use the program for, and how it’s working for you.

Ciao,

Derek
