Orthos / Q6600 question

[tjohn]

I tried running orthos for a bit last night in vista with the quad core gadget thingy also running and noticed that while running core's 1 and 2 where being stressed but 3 and 4 where not. Does it not work with quads?

you have to run 2 instances and change the affinity of the program to cores 1 & 2 and cores 3 & 4.

you right click on the process under the task manager to set the affinity just in case you didn't know

Thanks I just figured that out :) Also downloaded the newest ver of prime95, it supports quads.

Yeah, use Prime95 and forget Orthos.

Yes, much more stress on the CPU. If it will pass Prime, it will pass anything.
