Thanks for information (but so simple to find) its new for me to limit number of cores to work in pc.

you can limit no. of cores in7 by go to:
type in start menu
msconfig --> Boot --> advanced option --> here you can choose cores number.

In windows 7 its opposite of 8.x directly when you open task manager you can see cores and how they can acting in your laptop, if you want see all cores as single graph utilization you click button Resource Monitor.

Yeah, this guy is full of it and doesn't understand what this option is for.

From Microsoft:

System Configuration/Boot/Advanced Options/Number of Processors:
You can limit the number of core processors........

Nice to have an authoritative member on hand. I'll edit the previous post!

I must experiment some more.

Nah. Not me. The video didn't pass the "smell test" for me and I looked it up on Google.

On a side note, I have dedicated a core or two to certain applications while using Windows XP for the fun of it. Never seemed to make a definitive difference that I could tell.

In an earlier post I wrote:
Maybe a large part of the processing is done not by the CPU but by the GPU? Photoshop can take advantage of the image processing power of a high end graphics card. Maybe this also applies to your profiling software?

The freeware GPU-Z can monitor the performance/load of a graphics card. Maybe this could reveal if the GPU is active during profile calculations?

Having read up on multicore usage in the interim, it seems that the software application has to be written specifically for multicore processors to make full use of them and few applications are, with the exception of software like Adobe Photoshop and similar. So I would guess that stratman's multitasking is the only way that I would push usage up above 25% for run of the mill processing.

@Emulator:

You are correct about software capabilities. It wasn't the multitasking that utilized my multicore processor but the transcoding of video with ConvertXtoDVD, an application written to take advantage of multicore processors and thereby decrease transcoding time.

I recently noticed the processor load up at the 85% level, I was only running one program, a version of Canon Digital Photo Professional that came with the 7D Mk2 camera. So they are producing dedicated multi core processor software at Canon.
