SRJ, yes I was on a dual core machine when I ran the cmd help start. I did not see anything in there about the affinity. (This is the same machine that I ran the test at the process level)


Usil,

Not really off topic...it is a question I asked myself....If it was just one machine I would chalk it up to something wrong, but we have at least 3 of these GX745 machines and all 3 exhibit the same behavior....we can use older p4 machines on these files with no problem at all.

What ticked me off was our IT guy saying to just disable dual core support at the bios level. They had us pay extra for this ability and now they want us to just shut it off because they do not want to help us solve the problem.

This is what happens when a subsidiary company has to use resources from the parent company on windows, but we have to support out own applications. Which is my role in the company, tech support for our custom applications and oracle databases.
