Sup, i'm new to the forums here, been makin XviD's for sum time now usin auto GK and DVD Decrypter, i recently upgraded my system. I had a questin to all those hardware people out there. I got a new Pentium D 830 Dual Core Proc, but can't seem to find out how to enable dual core mode in Win XP. I was hoping to be able to encode with one core and run games (such as HL2 or the such on the other core) but so far google didn't help. Anyone know how to enable Dual core mode in Win XP? any help or tips woruld be helpful thanks.

u don't have to enable it. it is set to run in dual processing provided that your software is also capable of multi-threading. Since most software currently is not capable of multi-threading, your XviD will be using 1 core and your game or second application will atomatically being using the other core.
