Just a little something ive always wondered

[clidx]

if you have a hyper threading cpu and you set a program that is using 51%+ of the cpu and limit it's affinity to just cpu 0 (or just cpu 1) in taskmgr then does it only use half of the cpu? ht cpus are only 1 core so i'm just wondering

They're 1 core but can execute 2 threads at once. So setting the affinity to 1 virtual CPU or the other does limit what Windows XP can do with thread execution/scheduling. It does use the entire CPU though. Task Manager will show it running at "50%", but that's only because it's limited to what Task Manager sees as half the CPU.

Ahhh thanks for clearing that up i get it now.
