Answer» My system
Windows xp service pack 3
Duel core processor
4gigabyte ram
Me and a group of friends have been looking into isolating windows to one core on a duel core computer but we get access denied when doing it through the task manager PROCESSES I have researched this and got little in the way of results one person SAID that windows systems demand access to both cores but I want to isolate it to one dose anyone know a way we can do that. The REASON we want to do this is primarily so we can run another operating system independent of windows at the same time but on the same computer and so a program on the second system can make use of both cores but not show up on windows processes.
I can tell you now I have accesses to administrative privileges and enabled them in the task manager I can change the affinity on all other programs.
2 OS's cannot be ran simultaeanously...we are looking into using Hardware virtualization to emulate a second system but this is not the only reason we want to limit what core windows can use
i also found BOCHS at bochs.sourceforge.net that sounds like it might helpSee Here...thank you so muchNo problem...and Welcome Aboard...
Although i still don't believe you can run 2 OS's but i'm far from an expert on Hardware virtualisation.Please let us know how it turns out.See the "/NumProc="and "/OneCPU" switches within Boot INI Options Reference to control how the operating system is invoked.Quote from: patio on September 12, 2009, 04:30:27 PM See Here...
Good Link!!

SMP (SYMMETRIC Multi Processing) has been around for 10-15 years. Some did run 2 OS's at the same time, but neither were Windows. They were specialized versions of UNIX and targeted platforms were not PC's since cpu's were not capable at the time. First multi-processor PC was the Intel Pentium-Pro, a few motherboards had 2 sockets. Other platforms were more suitable for multi-processors with bus-mastering.
You're right about the "hardware virtualization". SMP's were used extensively in military flight simulators.
