What are you guys using these days for processor affinity?

I am running SMP and GPU2 on my main rig. Sometimes 1 of the 4 SMP cores sits idle. Sometimes GPU2 production drops and it's CPU usage stays low. I have GPU2 set to run at "slightly higher priority" so that it does anything at all.

Running Vista 64 for now. I'm assuming I want to assign SMP to 3 CPU cores and GPU2 to the remaining CPU core.

    You are correct. Assign the GPU to core 3, and the SMP client to cores 0, 1, and 2.

    Process Lasso is your friend. It works great, is user friendly, and is free. I'm running on five computers running SMP/GPU and SMP/dual-GPU.

    Thanks, Leo. Got it installed and configured last night.
