Hi guys,
New to dual CPU....
At work we're having some issues with some standard-issue Dell dual CPU machines, and hoping you guys can figure it out...
- Is there any way to DISABLE 1 of the CPUs? We're running WinXP...
- Can we just pull out one of the CPUs, without formatting WinXP?
- Is there a method without re-installing WinXP?
We have a dual Xeon 1.5Ghz, and a dual P3-1.0Ghz setup..
UPDATE: Ok guys, I figured it out
- Use bootcfg.exe if you don't want to modify the boot.ini file yourself...
- add the '/numprox=X' option to the end of your parameter line, where X is the number of processors you want to use.
- Additional info about boot.ini options for WinXP here: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/tr...prodtechnol/winxppro/reskit/prmc_str_masc.asp
