Considering this information, can anyone give me any guidelines as to what Boot configuration will give me better performance: telling the system I have/use 2 processors (thru the System Configuration / Boot / Advanced Options / Number of Processors ==> setting to "2" - OR - should I use "1"?
I don't have any idea at this point what it means for Windows to use one or the other settings. On the surface, it'd seem that one should tell it to use 2 if indeed there are two processors in the machine; but I haven't seen any "noticeable" difference so far when using one setting over the other (although I haven't been doing any kind of performance measuring, so I don't really "know").
