How to run your PC with multiple Cores (dual core or better)

[satindemon4u]

HELLO!

This is basic information, so if you are a tech guru, or even a novice you probably already know this.

My PC was set to a single core when I got it. I have a dual Core Processor.

WHY DOES THIS MATTER?
Enabling both cores( or 3, or all 4) can greatly improve system performance since now, you are working with more cores!

How do i do it??

Its easy! (if you want pictures let me know and i'll add them later)

1. Click Start
2. Click Run
3. Type "msconfig" (dont add the " ")
4. Click the Boot tab
5. Click "Advanced options..."
6. Check the box that says "Number of processors"
7. Select your processes in the drop down box (1-4 depending on your processor)

Processors......
Single Core (1)
Dual Core (2)
Triple Core (forgot the real name) (3)
Quad Core (4)

Or if your a beast, you might have 8 cores. Yes, it exists.

Hope this helped!
