SMP and Win2K
This is a discussion about SMP and Win2K in the Windows Hardware category; Hi All, I just installed Win2K on my dual P3 system. I am having a hard time verifying that Win2K is actually detecting and using the two processors. I found in system info that two identical processors are showing, is this it?

Hi All,
I just installed Win2K on my dual P3 system. I am having a hard time verifying that Win2K is actually detecting and using the two processors. I found in system info that two identical processors are showing, is this it?
Is there any other way to tell?
Also, are there any tweaks or things I can do with SMP?
Thanks

Use the Task Manager (tskmgr.exe or something), you can access it byt pressing CTRL+ALT+Del.
It will show you the usage of both CPUs and you'll be able to manage the Dual Processing as you want. For example you can put one app. on one CPU and another on the other CPU so on...

Ok Thanks,
I saw the two windows so I guess one for each CPU. Is there a way to set up a sytem monitor type thing with CPU usage and memory and make it a little window like you can in Win 98?
Also, does Win2K auto assign CPU usage between the 2 CPU's by default?
Thanks

The OS manages thread->CPU assignment so you don't need to worry about it.
