Test it and find out. Computer hardware and operating systems are so
complex that no one can really know how software is going to perform
without testing it.
If you do test it, please report back on this list.

Hi,
sorry for taking over this thread. I know this is sort of OT but I don't quite understand the topic.
Does this all mean a) it is no advantage for PD to run with/on a Core Duo processor
(on WinXP or linux) b) it is a disadvantage c) it is a disadvantage unless I deliberately make _no_ use of the
virtual multiprocessor?If this thread isn't related to Core Duo then I'd appreciate any
comments on my questions (since I'm trying to find the right "next
laptop").Thanks Urs

But, when using PD with the smp kernel and watching a system monitor, all I see is both processors alternating on the tasks making some quasi-quadratic envelopes from zero up, with overlapping.
Where is the system splitting the tasks here??
not sure ... possibly after sleeping, the pd process will be moved to another processor ...
So, Tim, your advice is to use a non smp kernel and desable hyper-threading at bios setup?
i guess, it's no problem to run an smp kernel, but you should disable hyperthreading. the only exception would be to run two instances of pd, with a
similar cpu load, running on top of a jackdmp server ... tim -- TimBlechmann@gmx.de ICQ: 96771783 http://www.mokabar.tk Linux is like a wigwam: no windows, no gates, apache inside, stable.
