| Guest | Dual-Core processor utilized? I was just wondering if the latest Windows Live Messenger is designed to take advantage of a Dual-Core processor? All else being equal, and if not running any other programs besides WLM, would there be any benefit to having a Dual-Core processor during a video chat on WLM? |

| Guest | Re: Dual-Core processor utilized? Greetings, Yep, the audio/video features of Messenger have always been threaded so a dual-core proc will definitely assist. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "thebigdintexas" <thebigdintexas@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:5618772A-027A-464F-9355-F7C613B992AB@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Dual-Core processor utilized? Hi Jonathan, But don't you need Windows XP Professional; Windows XP Professional x64; Windows Vista Ultimate or Windows Vista Ultimate x64 bit version, to assign Live Messenger to a specific side of the Dual-Core Processor? -- thecreator "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" <msnewsreplies@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:FAA2FB01-85F0-4BCB-9402-98922A70DA7C@xxxxxx

| Guest | Re: Dual-Core processor utilized? Hi, Why would you need to 'assign' anything to a specific core in general use? Windows will use both by default, spawning threads on both. Although Messenger is well known for its lack of threading in some areas, audio/video is a nice exception (it's done by another team). Anything NT-based is SMP aware. Plus, Live Messenger only works on XP and above anyway. -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "thecreator" <thecreator@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:OuovuSVWIHA.1184@xxxxxx
